Her shooting versatility on the court both from long range and in the paint allows her to get buckets, and keeps opposing defenders on their toes. She has a unique ability to find teammates on the court either in transition or a half-court set. Pingree also uses her height to soar above opponents and grab rebounds on both ends of the court. A rising senior, Pingree has another year of high school to develop her skillset and make waves on the court.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["303899"],"_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":"As a tall shooting guard, [player_tooltip player_id='303899' first='Sam' last='Pellerin'] uses her height to see over perimeter defenders and find her teammates for an open bucket. Her court vision and awareness set her apart from other guards on the court. On the other end of the court, Pellerin is a tough defender whose hustle and situational awareness allow her to disrupt the flow of opposing offense. Her defensive abilities create offensive opportunities for teammates, and contribute to her all-around skillset. A rising junior, Pellerin still has two years to develop her skills. Keep an eye out for this scrappy and talented guard.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["270726"],"_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":"At 5'7u0022 [player_tooltip player_id='270726' first='Ava' last='Orlando'] may not be the tallest player on the court, but that doesn't stop her from driving to the basket through contact and forcing the ball in the hoop. Her grit, athleticism and ball-handling abilities allow her to weave through the defense for a layup or an and-one opportunity. Orlando can also light it up from beyond the arc, and has a lightening-quick shot release. She's the type of player you want on your team because of the intensity and efficiency she brings to the game.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Cam Dunn","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"12124","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Hollis Brookline","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"New England Crusaders","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Still just a rising sophomore, Cam Dunn is a young hooper with a high upside. Her length and athleticism allow her to find her way to the bucket in the paint and create headaches for opposing defenders with her shot-blocking abilities. Cam is also able to score from the perimeter and midrange, demonstrating versatility and skill so early in her high school career. Cam is a player you want to look out for as her high school and club careers continue.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-648e05e0f136b"} /-->
