She utilizes hesitations and explosive first steps to gain position on her defender and create offensive looks for herself and teammates. Roberts has the ball handling control and vision to dish the rock and her downhill toughness keeps the defense honest. She is a 24' schools should be taking a look at this season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["716476"],"_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":771966,"_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":"2025 CG [player_tooltip player_id='716476' first='Averi' last='Collins'] of Churchill had an outstanding overall performance at the Top 250 Expo on Saturday. Averi scored at all three levels and demonstrated poise running the point. She anticipated passes on defense and converted steals into transition points with her speed. Averi used inside out dribbles and pushouts to create space and score all day. She had a very impressive all around performance at the Top 250 Expo and will be a target for colleges at the next level going into the winter season.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["663349"],"_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":771951,"_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":"2025 CG [player_tooltip player_id='663349' first='Isabella' last='Nooe'] of South Lyon shined brightly Saturday at the Top 250 Expo. If coaches did not know who this girl was before, they definitely will now. She showed elite fundamental ability on both sides of the ball. She used the hesitation dribble drive floater, finished contested shots, deflected passes on the ball, and found teammates with her vision.

Victoria can score at all three levels, create space with her dribble, and see the floor with excellent vision.

She dominated on both sides of the ball and demonstrated elite ball handling control. I have never seen a player use so many consecutive inside out dribbles at full speed like that in a game: wow. She skied up for rebounds, blocked shots, finished strong at the rim, etc. Mariah has elite speed and moves with the ball, her long strides give her an advantage over any defender.

She finished contested shots at the rim all day and also showed her ability to create space with a step back. She has length and speed to create turnovers on defense by deflecting passes and blocking shots. One of her most eye opening moments of the day was when she attacked the defender, used a spin dribble, then finished left at the rim. I have a note for Ava that I did not use many times Saturday: u0022Great Defenderu0022. Ava put herself on the map Saturday and will be a 26' I look forward to seeing develop over her HS career.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_6_player_details_player_name":"Arabella Dulce","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_6_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_6_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_6_player_details_position":"12121","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_6_player_details_school":"Okemos","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_6_player_details_club_team":"Excel","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_6_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_6_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"Arabella Dulce is a 2025 CG fr0m Okemos who put her shooting accuracy on full display Saturday.

Makayla also uses her ball handling control to step back with a dribble and make shots. Makayla can go downhill and finish contested layups at the rim and will find open teammates with her vision.
