Let's look at the best shot hitters in TN according to MaxPreps numbers from 2022-23.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["636395"],"_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":"Story has as much potential as anyone on this list.  She averaged 11.1 pts per game last year on 51% shooting.  I love to see my forwards scoring around 50%. Story is a u0022late bloomeru0022 who's skill is just now catching up with her supreme athleticism.  While her 3 pt shot and FT shot still need work, Story is primed for a breakout as once she catches in the paint, she's a bucket.  It's no accident Story has BLOWN UP this season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["513237"],"_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":"Jarrett is a really interesting player as she averaged 12 pts on 46% from the field.  She's capable of more though as she also popped out and hit 30 3's at a 43% clip.  30 3's for a big is a phenomenal number.  Her 78% from the line also indicates that she has what it takes to be a perimeter shooter.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["636530"],"_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":"Hayes put up 12.2 pts last year, but did so on 34% shooting.  She'd obviously like that number to go up a bit, and that will open up the drive for her.  She's a proven shooter with 48 made 3's last season but only on 28%. She hit 80 FT from 80% which leads to me to believe she can really stroke it.  When the free throw percentage is high, it leads me to believe the foundation of a clean shot is there.  Hayes has had a tremendous season scoring the ball.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["636529"],"_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":"Webb averaged 11.8 on 38% from the field last season.  You have to love that she hit 60 3's, and only from 30%, which I believe will go up to 35 percent this year.  Webb has a ton of room for growth as a scorer.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65491ca1b2283"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["513242"],"_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":"Price averaged 11.5 points on 42% from the field last season.  She only hit 11 3s, and only shot 56% from the line.  In order to make a scoring jump, she's going to have to finish from 2 better, and begin to get more touch on her jumper.  And so far this season, she's made a lot of these changes and has become a much more consistent scorer.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65491ca1b22eb"} /-->
