She averaged 26.7 points per game last season and I expect her to take the next step in her development this season. She is a good defender, cleaning up on the glass and creating turnovers where she looks to push the tempo for easy buckets. She can light it up from the perimeter just as easy as she can get to the basket in the paint. She is active on the glass and does a good job facilitating for her teammates when she is guarded heavily on double teams. Really want to see how she takes the next step with her game with ball security, ability to create space, and her playmaking. Sky's the limit and I'm expecting big things this upcoming season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["422140"],"_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":"Littlefield is threat to score every time the ball is in her hands averaging 21 points per game last season.

She has a knack for scoring the basket and being a menace on the defensive end. Good footwork and IQ, along with active hands gives her the opportunity to turn defense into offense averaging 6 steals a game last season. On the offensive end, Gilmore was a scoring machine, averaging 20 points per game last season. She loves to slash to the basket and finish with either hand and can light it up from the perimeter. She's active on the boards looking for second chance opportunities.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["269345"],"_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":"u003cpu003eNew Bedford (MA), 5'6 G 2024: Committed to Miamiu0026nbsp;u003c/pu003eu003cpu003eAdams is relentless, plays with confidence when she's out on the floor.
