The aggression on the drive, the ability to move without the ball… and the locked in mindset on defense. From a scoring standpoint she's building her skillset to extend beyond the arc, and defensively she's bound to throw off your entire scheme. A key piece to her AAU programs success and a huge piece on what her HS team are looking to accomplish this year.u003c/emu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["455260"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":411616,"_player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003cp style=u0022text-align: centeru0022u003eu003cemu003ePhysicality seems to be Avery's play style, and with the size she has, it's done her justice. She has the frame to finish around the block, and near the rim, but also the confidence to stretch the court and take some jumpers as well. She's a threat on the boards, and when she's engaged on the defensive end she can be paint blanket as well.u003c/emu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["615357"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":729661,"_player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"u003cp style=u0022text-align: centeru0022u003eu003cemu003eA consistent shooter who can get it going from all levels on the court. Sanchez has a good mix of strength and versatility that allows her to get to her spots and be effective. A wide ranged skillset that seems to fit in perfect with mostly all type of players. A focal point on her HS team, Sanches shows that she can adapt by playing with a stronger type of talent during circuit season.u003c/emu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["524848"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":629043,"_player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"u003cp style=u0022text-align: centeru0022u003eu003cemu003eWith a couple big time offers secured, Jane has been taking up the challenge to add to her skillset as a 6'2 post player (potentially still growing). Her potential as a dominant force on both sides of the court is definitely high and her defensive instincts are already sharp. Tough on the boards, and can average 3-4 blocks a game.u003c/emu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["515491"],"_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":"u003cp style=u0022text-align: centeru0022u003eu003cemu003eWith tons of quickness to match her speed and aggression, Schilb has been a force to deal with on the Adidas circuit for the M14 program. She can score in bunches from all over, but especially from attacking the rim. Her ball handle is strong, and she's willing to do whatever is needed out of her in that possession. A seamlessly fitting guard who can excel where ever she's placed. u003c/emu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64c145093469d"} /-->
