She's well rounded on the offensive side of the ball, being able to score at all 3 levels efficiently. She finds her teammates nicely on the court too, always having her eyes up. Defensively, she is a menace. She will play very tight defense and get into the opposing players heads by causing many turnovers. She has fantastic lateral movement as she can turn her the ball handlers easily and recover fast. She is one of my favorite players to watch.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["317112"],"_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":"Naomi is relentless on the defensive side of the ball. She plays with a ton of energy and it rubs off to her teammates. She plays tight man defense and moves her feet very quickly to stay in front of the offensive player. She's a player who I could see rise on everyone's radar throughout the summer and next season.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["281965"],"_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":"Naima is such an intriguing prospect. She will likely play at the Division 1 or 2 level and her stock will rise quite a bit when the season starts. Her role will be increased next year and she will take advantage of that. Her ability to defend the basket and paint at a high level is what sets her apart from others. She's a top 30 player in the 2024 class.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["580777"],"_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":"Grace's presence on offense makes a lot of people overlook her defensive game, given she is so smooth in scoring the ball. She moves her feet very well and can defend some of the best players in the entire state. She gets her hands on the ball often as she averages about 2 steals a game.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-646ee8d02cbbc"} /-->
