McCloud is an elite player and it showed on the courts at the Expo. Offensively, she has a knack for scoring the basketball. McCloud looked like she was open all day long down in the paint. She moves great without the ball in her hands,   she has a high basketball IQ,   and she possesses great instincts on the court.    She has exceptional timing on when to cut and and give the passer an open target.    McCloud showed a lot of versatility with her ball handling abilities and her ability to pull up for the baseline jumper.   That's just one side of the ball.   Defensively, McCloud was versatile and  impressive.    She has the ability to defend in space and also in the paint.   Her shot blocking ability is elite.    At the Expo,  she blocked several shots in the paint and changed  a lot of other  shots.     McCloud was also elite in the rebounding department.  She  stood out and performed like the elite player she is.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["633529"],"_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":770711,"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='633529' first='Mia' last='Chandler'] played very well at the Expo and opened a lot of eyes. Chandler was a tough challenge in the paint for defenders.  She has an explosive move to the basket and can leave defenders flat footed.    She did a great job of scoring in the paint once she gained an advantage on the defender.   Chandler played very well in transition, leading the break at times and also filling the wings.    Her straightline speed was as fast as the  guards on the floor.    Defensively, Chandler was solid and versatile.    She defended in the paint and blocked numerous shots from the helpside.    She also played on the wings and stopped defenders from penetrating with great foot speed and lateral movement.   I was sitting with a college basketball coach who complimented the young Chandler. He stated that Chandler is a great athlete and a very good young player.     He agreed that she is  going to be a problem as she continues to develop and further learns the  game.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["400787"],"_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":770712,"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='400787' first='Liliana' last='Rosario'] played very well and is on the projectory to be a dominant player in the paint as her game continues to develop.   Rosario gets great position  and  knows how to seal off defenders in the paint.   Once she receives the pass,  she knows how to score the ball.   She displayed some nice footwork in the paint,  including some nice up and under moves.   Rosario drew a lot of praise from some  coaches there.   She is another good player whose future is extremely bright.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["766316"],"_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":770713,"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='766316' first='Maleeya' last='Brammer'] was a workhorse in the paint at the Top Expo.

She and [player_tooltip player_id='664264' first='Zion' last='McRae'] were impressive in the pick and role game.
