She showed her ability to catch at the high post and rip and get to the basket. Has great footwork on the block which allows her to score at the rim. Has the ability to also hit the over the shoulder shot as well. Protects the paint really well and knows how to defend without fouling. She had 19 points on Day 1.

She uses her length to her advantage. Has the ability to score at all 3 levels and a scrappy player on the defensive end.  Runs the floor well in transition and when her team needed a bucket she was the go to player. A player that always stays in scoring mode. Hidden gem.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-645713547aa9f"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["484962"],"_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":"McCorvey is a player that knows her role and does it to perfection. A player that loves the short corner jump shot but also can rip and attack baseline. A true workhorse that protects the paint and can guard positions 1 through 5. A player that plays with so much energy that its contagious to her teammates. High IQ combo player that knows how to take what the defense gives her and use it to her advantage. A player on numerous coaches' radars.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-645713547ab2f"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["275952"],"_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":"Booker is a true floor general that knows how to get her teammates involved.  A player that is not afraid to defend 94ft and knows how to read the gaps for the steals. A guard that can get downhill quickly and put the pressure on the defense. When you take away her drive, she has the ability to knock down the outside shot. She continues to get better every time she touches the court. Look for her to be on a lot of coaches list by end of summer.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-645713547abb4"} /-->
