She can grab a board and lead the break, she can defend bigger because she plays with a lot of strength and does not let bigger players back her down. She has solid attacking skills as she gets to the rim and makes things happen and she can hit from outside as well. She is starting to pick up traction in her recruiting but she is under recruited for sure.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65821a81cef51"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["772852"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"She is currently at 1200+ points in her career and will likely get to 1500 which is wild. She puts in the work and plays with a high motor. She has already racked up quite a few double-doubles and there seems to be no way of truly stopping her so teams have to just hope they can contain her. She is going to be a headliner in 4A  for sure.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65821a81cefb4"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["824504"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Slowly putting together a solid senior season. Last game she went off for 24 points and has constantly and consistently shown improvement. Has the skill set and the positional height to play at the next level.

He perimeter game has been solid and she keeps the defense and defenders honest with her outside shooting. Although there is some skill out there she does not settle for just casting from deep. Amelia knows how to get to the rim as well. Small school need to take notice as she can really go. She will hit the 1,000 point club in two games.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65821a81cf076"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Young Talent</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["796847"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"We have been able to watch Maynard play a few times this year and what she does aa an undersized big is actually quite impressive. She has some elevation on her finishes and she can also finish through contact. Around the rim she is tough and she also has a soft touch. Her motor is also impressive as she is all over the floor being active which allows her to rebound on both ends of the floor. She sets solid screens and she doesn't always roll quickly she changes the pace. She is a smart young talent with a High IQ.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65821a81cf0c9"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["796794"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Steady as they come as she plays with a nice pace and she knows when to shift gears.
