Aliyah contributed in a lot of ways for Woodbridge HS last season. She was 4th on the team in rebounds, 6th in steals and 7th in scoring and had her career high 11 points in a state playoff loss to Hillsborough. She is a strong presence in the middle. When she gets the ball, she looks to attack the rim and she is a physical rebounder. She is also an aggressive defender with active hands. Playing AAU for SheNatural should set her up for improved numbers as a senior as 2 of their top 4 scorers have graduated.","_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":"Daniela Ibanez","_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":"5'2u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"12121","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Weehawken HS","_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":"Class of 2025.

She is a good decision maker with the ball as evidenced by her 2+ apg at Weehawken and the patience she showed playing for United EAST this summer. She reads defenses well when she gets in the lane. As a defender, she is working hard on and off the ball and plays good team defense.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["333350"],"_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":"Class of 2025.

She is comfortable spotting up at the 3-point line or with the ball in her hands. She is a vocal defender and her efforts showed well for [program_tooltip program_id='774068' first='NJ' last='Panthers'] this summer.

The Wildcats were 10-0 last season when Katie scored 25 or more points. Defensively, she also led the team in blocked shots and is an opportunistic defender in the Becton press. In transition she pushes the ball up the court and has good vision on the break.
