She also dove for loose balls and her on the ball defense was smothering as it helped to create turnovers. She went coast to coast to score or dish, yes she saw the floor well and her body control and powerful frame enabled her to finish after contact. She also played the passing lane and showed she could drop the jumper while being defended","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["782620"],"_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":"Manuel almost had defenders needing a manual to try and guard her and as well as I have seen her play in the past, she does what I love to see in players and that's u0022seize the opportunityu0022 which will have her added to the next update. She also went after the ball off the rim, in the air and on the floor, her on the ball defense and quick hands created turnovers yet after the steal, she handled the ball effortlessly to score or dish. Her slight HEZ  off the dribble was nice, so was her spin move as it created points and her pull-up jumper and court vision were both nice","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["782611"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Massenburg gets the #THROWBACK hashtag for the u0022hands and footworku0022 she showed in the paint yet her ability to score around the basket either facing or putbacks, yes she rebounded on both ends, was very nice. She also showed good timing to block, alter and (or) deflect shots but she used her frame nicely on defense and inside the paint, she did a very good job of holding whoever she was guarding. Oh yeah, she showed she could attack the basket off the dribble","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["782623"],"_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":"Bush-Lewis showed not only a very nice first step, but she added the u0022TURBOu0022 to it which makes it explosive. Her body control on her finishes were nice, she scored after contact yet her court vision in the set as well as in transition was very nice. She showed the pull-up jumper and dropped it while being defended, she dove for loose balls and went after the ball off the rim yet watching her play the passing lane and handle the ball under pressure to score or dish was also solid","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["782638"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Green means GO and she definitely went after the ball after the offensive player shot it. Her timing was among the best at the event, yes she blocked and altered some shot yet her mere presence was a present for me because she's u0022long and athleticu0022 and stands above u0022the magic numberu0022 which are huge pluses for the next level. So was her u0022hands and footworku0022 #THROWBACK,  but she also faced the basket to score from mid to long range. Her rebounding on both ends was also solid","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["475149"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_player_featured_image":783753,"_player_evaluations_5_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"Bruce was another player who gave me the u0022hands and footworku0022 I love to see so she gets the #THROWBACK hashtag as well but her ability to score multiple ways was nice. Yes, she scored around the basket, putbacks included, she rebounded on bot ends, but she also not only went after the ball off the rim, she handled it afterward. She attacked off the dribble, she showed the reverse layup, but she also dropped both the mid and long range jumper","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["688570"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_player_featured_image":783764,"_player_evaluations_6_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"Peavy is another player that is u0022long and athleticu0022 and stands over u0022the magic numberu0022 yet the real magic happened when she touched the ball. I tweeted the video I had seen of her didn't do her game any justice and I meant it because she scored however she wanted around the basket, with either hand. She knocked down the jumper consistently from midrange, even dropped it from deep but her spin move off the dribble dropped the mic. She also rebounded on both ends, handled the ball going coast to coast and played solid defense, yet her TIMING was off the chain","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["654873"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_player_featured_image":783813,"_player_evaluations_7_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"Elder understands how and when to take the game over and she does it so smoothly at the drop of a dime. Well she also drops dimes and her court vision in the open court was among the best at the vent, she also dished off the dribble yet she's a u0022long and athleticu0022 guard that can handle the ball with either hand under pressure and showed a variety of moves including a spin in transition that left the defender standing still. Mid to long-range, check. on the ball defense, double check but the bottom line is she was hard to check period","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":8,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6526787ecf735"} /-->
