<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These players all have good size and versatility with some being underclassmen with a lot of talent and upside. That includes a dynamic pair on the same team who are both 6'1 from Chiawana. They are all having great success this season and putting up some notable numbers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["367327"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"A true post player who understands how to score on the block. She has great footwork and uses either hand to finish with a soft touch. She can also step out and hit the jumper extending to the three-point line. She is a good free-throw shooter. I am most impressed with her footwork and low post moves. She has put in some work on this and it shows. She can be crafty, she uses her size to her advantage very well. She was averaging 17 points, 13 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks per game through 12 games. She hasn't shot a lot of threes but is making 40% from deep.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["376913"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"The 2nd part of the dynamic duo from Chiawana. She is a versatile and talented player who can do a little bit of everything. She can create her own shots on the perimeter, has a nice floater, and can separate from the defense by shooting off the dribble. She is athletic at 6'2 when it comes to getting up and down the floor. She can finish coast to coast. She is averaging 16 points and 9 rebounds a game and has also made 15 threes through 12 games.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["584371"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"She is currently 2nd in the Mid-Co conference in scoring right behind [player_tooltip player_id='367327' first='Malia' last='Ruud'] at 17 points a game. One thing that stands out is that she is active on defense and gets lots of steals. She is athletic and fast enough to finish most of those with easy baskets on the other end. She gets her points inside and out but is more a finishing guard who gets into the paint and scores. She can and does hit the three making her another well rounded player with good size from the scoring guard position.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='584079' first='Maddy' last='Jewett'] ","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2025 ","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"12124","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Naches ","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"She is having a great sophomore season averaging over 21 points a game. She had a career high 35 in a game earlier in the year. She is red hot in January, scoring 35, 25, 22, and 21 points. She is also rebounding at a high level. She has versatility and scores on the block with quick moves and can step out and hit the mid-range jumper with a nice touch. She is an active defender and can defend any position on the floor as well as being able to play any position on the floor.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["304002"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Another versatile player who does a lot of things well. She is athletic and long, can shoot from three or get points in the paint. She can run the floor and get easy baskets or score in the half court from anywhere. She can defend any position on the floor. She was the MVP of her league as a sophomore, so it is no surprise she is having a big season in her final year of high school. Her versatility and athleticism make her a great prospect. She will take her talents to Lewis and Clark State next year to continue her career at the next level.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","fullHeight":true,"anchor":"acf-block-63c70f123aa8b"} /-->

These players all have good size and versatility with some being underclassmen with a lot of talent and upside. That includes a dynamic pair on the same team who are both 6'1 from Chiawana. They are all having great success this season and putting up some notable numbers.
