She does this by creating shots for herself and teammates. She scores with polish and fluidity.  Her ball handling skills, motor and patience allow her to read the court and anticipate successful execution.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["352113"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='352113' first='Ella' last='Todd'] needs no introduction.  The gifted sophomore displays her wide array of talents every time I see her.  She controls the floor with a flawless combination of strength and poise. She handles the ball with expertise and scores from any place on the court.  Her elevated basketball IQ allows her to predict her opponent's next move.  Todd's size and frame allows her to be a threat on defense as well. Her consistency in steals and rebounds accentuates her value on the court. Her list of college offers are impressive and will only multiply during AAU season.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["335728"],"_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":"Addie is one of the most improved players this high school season. She has stepped up in high pressure situations, remained unnerved and triumphed.  A threat on both sides of the court, she can catch up with the fastest guard or defend the tallest post player with effortless success.  She never backs down from a challenge and improves her game playing against excellent competition.  She can be a scoring or rebounding machine.  Her greatest asset is doing what the team needs her to do and executing well.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["523043"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='523043' first='Avery' last='Cooper'] is everything you want in a basketball player.  The unique combination of athleticism, power, and agility is extraordinary for being a sophomore.  She is swift and nimble and almost buoyant on the court. She has a smooth jump shot and can knock down 3s. She can swipe the ball, race down the court, with defenders on her, and convert to a graceful layup-completely undeterred.  Her speed eludes her defenders and her impact on the court is a value to her teammates.  She already has multiple offers and colleges will be fighting to get her on the roster.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63f1b2a2cc605"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["500610"],"_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":"One of the most consistent and talented players in the 2025 class, Gina is a well-rounded player who is a reliable scorer and defender.  She has a wide set of tools to be successful in any situation.  She can move the ball around quickly which allows her to distribute and facilitate the ball with precision.  Her dribbling, passing and speed facilitates her regularity with the offensive boards.  She has the ability to size up and break down her defender.  Her shot is efficient, and IQ is high.  Her improvement during high school season will only elevate her play come AAU season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["419468"],"_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":"Nora's comfortability on both ends of the floor has been highlighted over the past few months. The smooth transition from the low post to her offense at the arc consistently puts her in the double-digit scoring column.  The solid screen setting orchestrates scoring opportunities for her and she spaces, rolls and dominates the boards.  The icing on the cake is her floor running only emphasizes her versatility and athleticism.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":2,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63f1b974d8516"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["352114"],"_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":"Aubrey is a walking highlight reel.  You cannot look away when she is on the court because you may miss the pass or play of the year. Her no-look pass is unreal.  The uncanny ability she has to throw off her defender allows her to be a dominant scorer from anywhere on the court.  Besides her ability to narrate the game, she is a scoring threat with almost as many assists as she has points in a game.  The intensity she displays whether it is the first minute or last minute of the game is tiring to her opponents.  Her coolness and composure rattles even the most seasoned player.  There are few players, even at the college level, who play with a skill and finesse like Galvan.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63f1bef853a6e"} /-->
