She is a good athlete who can run the floor. She showed the ability to hit the mid-range jumper off the dribble, and can be effective scoring in the paint with her length. She has a lightning quick release on her jumper. A shooting guard or small forward, she can play any of the 1 through 3 spots. I really like how her game translates to the next level. She can defend multiple positions and has quick hands and shot blocking skills. She can also be effective as a grab and go rebounder. If she gets more comfortable putting it on the floor and getting to the basket, she will develop into an even better prospect. She led the Mid-Co 3A/4A conference in threes this season. She is not just a shooter. Her length, ability to run the floor, rebound, score in the paint, and high ceiling is why she has moved up in the rankings.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["659454"],"_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":"#49 - Helped Deer Park to a state tournament appearance this season and was second on the team in scoring behind senior [player_tooltip player_id='304002' first='Darian' last='Herring'].
