STOCK RISERS from Texas Invitational-pt 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I had to break this down into a couple of segments after going over my notes.

She's explosive off the dribble to either score, after contact, or assist yet in the open court she's seeing the floor better and hitting teammates on the money from beyond 25 feet in traffic. Her mid to long-range jumper continues to be effective and her u0022on the ballu0022 pressure also creates problems","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["782620"],"_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":"Manuel helped set it off at the u003ca href=u0022https://prepgirlshoops.com/2023/10/pgh-top-250-showcase-all-tournament-elite-8/u0022u003eu003cemu003eu003cstrongu003ePGH 250u003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003eu003c/au003e Expo which earned her a spot on the Top 100 for her class and after watching her bring that same mindset to her school team she showed me another side of her impressive game. Yes, her u0022on the ballu0022 defense can be smothering baseline to baseline as well as in the set but watching her outrebound taller players as well as score on them around the basket had me smiling. The midrange looks good, she creates and drops it under pressure and she also scores off the dribble, solid body control enables her to finish after contact and her court vision is a huge plus as well","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["747789"],"_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":"Moyer has Top 100 written all over her and that's for a variety of reasons only a REAL EVALUATOR would comprehend. Her u0022poise under pressureu0022 grabbed my attention years ago as well as her wanting the ball and delivering down the stretch. I loved seeing her create her shot and use a deceptive first step to attack and finish yet using that same creativity, she kept the defender guessing because she can drop the mid to long-range.

On the flip, her u0022on the ballu0022 pressure helped to create turnovers as well as her doing what I love seeing players do, playing the passing lane but in both instances, she handled the ball afterward and made good decisions.

Taking games to the next level is always a great sign if you want to play at the next level and watching her in middle school showing signs of what was coming takes me back. Her defensive pressure has always been a there, so has her playing the passing lane yet she's more under control at setting the defender up to score off the dribble or take the jumper.

I enjoyed watching her control the tempo and get her teammates involved off the top and in the flow, she did a good job of scoring, either off the dribble or from outside.
