She showed a lot of skill and upside and is a prospect to be very excited about. Thomas set the tone for her game on the defensive end of the floor.

She created multiple turnovers and turned defense into offense.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"Morgan McPherson","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"12125","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Avondale","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"This was my first opportunity to evaluate McPherson's game and I came away impressed.

She showed good downcourt vision hitting a nice pass to a breaking teammate for an easy bucket. Gibson showed some shake with her handles beating her defender off the bounce. She also flaunted some creativity on her finishes with a tough reverse layup.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-652fdb90f1909"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Like in Part 2 of this series, the fifth player is a mystery player that I was unable to obtain a name for. If you see a Canton forward wearing the number 10, be sure to check out her game. She scored 13 points in Canton's first game and proved to be a very highly influential post player that's definitely worth a look from scouts and coaches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
