She's a top ranked player across the whole country and already holds numerous Division 1 offers. She was invited to tryout for the U16 USA Women's Basketball team and was a finalist, almost making the cut. She is fantastic in the paint, having amazing footwork down low and finishes well through traffic. She is almost impossible to guard in the pick and roll.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["283431"],"_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":"Nisa had a fanastic junior year last season and is bound for another great year with Lake Stevens. She is easily a top 10 player in the 2024 class in the state of Washington. She is aggressive on the glass, grabbing over 10 boards almost every single time she'e out on the court. She finishes well through traffic and can guard the paint efficiently.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["362369"],"_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":"The board queen herself. She is DOMINANT on the glass and uses her body very well down low. She easily grabs 10-15 rebounds a night and also contributes on the offensive side nicely. She is patient in the paint and allows the game to cone to her. She doesn't rush anything and is a very unselfish player on the court.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["367327"],"_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":"Malia is such a well rounded player. She drives to the hoop well, getting around defenders smoothly. She is a force in the paint, grabbing boards with ease and showcasing a fantastic, well rounded offensive game. She hits the mid-range effectively and can even step out to hit the three when she wants. She is one of the hardest working players in the state and has a very high ceiling.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["502386"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"This 2024 Bothell standout impresses me every-time I see new highlights of hers. She plays tough, tough defense. She can stay in front of the ball handler easily and provides a huge spark with the many turnovers she causes. She is hard to guard on the offensive side of the ball given her ability to adjust to what the defense is giving her. She has one of the highest basketball IQ's in her class.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6492557729f34"} /-->
