She's versatile, dependable and uses her natural feel to be just as dominant on that side of the ball too. At 6'2, she moves with speed and grace, and can go coast to coast like a guard.u003c/iu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6413b0b340baa"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://x.com/mwehoops_eybl/status/1625481495484792832","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://x.com/mwehoops_eybl/status/1625481495484792832 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:separator {"className":"is-style-wide"} --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["408372"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":617980,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cp style=u0022text-align: centeru0022u003eu003ciu003eThis kid plays with aggression from start to finish. She has the handles, the confidence and the motor to be effective on all possessions. Her energy is contagious and you can see it all over the team she plays with. Defensively, Amadio is all about 94ft of lockdown. She has great length that allows her to guard multiple positions, and offensively she uses her length to be able to score on all three levels as well. u003c/iu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["612739"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003cp style=u0022text-align: centeru0022u003eu003ciu003eBrumley is tough, and can legitimately score on all levels on the court. Smooth release from the arc, aggressive and strong on the drive, and still shows the strong IQ to be just as effective without the ball too. She can be your main scorer, your top defender or the sole person on the court that gives 100% from beginning to the end of the game. A true game changing piece for any program. u003c/iu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["611698"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":617979,"_player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"u003cp style=u0022text-align: centeru0022u003eu003ciu003eA true stretch forward who has all the agility and versatility to be impactful for a program. Oller can knockdown the long ball, attack the rim, and finish around the midrange area. She moves well at 6ft, and uses her lengthened strength to be effective from multiple levels. She has solid footowork, and a graceful touch around the rim. Looking forward to seeing her progression over the summer. u003c/iu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["611696"],"_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":"u003cp style=u0022text-align: centeru0022u003eu003ciu003eTrue post players are slowly fading out, so when you spot one.. its always refreshing to see. Flowers is hell to deal with on the low block, and when she's operating in the paint.. you're going to be in for a long night. She plays physical, but with patience. Amerie is aware of her surroundings, and never seems rushed into making a bad decision. Her game can fit into any system, because of her versatility. The potential is high for Flowers. u003c/iu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["335716"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_player_featured_image":517585,"_player_evaluations_4_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"u003cp style=u0022text-align: centeru0022u003eu003ciu003eEvery program needs a Mcmahon.. a straight shooter. Ciara can let it fly from all over the court, and her accuracy and efficiency doesnt go unnoticed. The kid is forsure good for 4-5 threes a game, and her ability to get into the paint and be a threat.. definitely helps with her deep ball shooting. Her size allows her to maneuver, attack angles, and get to her spots to make plays for herself or her teammates. Ciara has definitely made a name for herself this past season, and i don't see it stopping once circuit season starts.u003c/iu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6413b7302eb53"} /--> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator -->
