who is coming off a 20 point, 20 rebound game last week.  After missing last year with an injury, it's great to watch her get back on the floor.  Against Cleveland, she was 4-16 and just couldn't get going on this night.  Cleveland did a great job sagging in the gaps and keeping Johnson off the offensive glass.  Johnson still finished with a double double (10 points and 10 rebounds) on an off night.  Putting up double-doubles on an off-night is an indication of a kid who impacts winning in lots of ways.","_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":"[player_tooltip

freshman PG has been phenomenal this season, and I'll give her a lot of credit for proving to be much better than advertised.  She put up 19 shots vs Cleveland, and ran the show, which means she's proved her worth and earned those shots (and that role) in practice.  She scored 16 points on 6-19 shooting, and 2-9 from three.  Really impressive performance for a '27.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["409019"],"_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":"Hurst came to life in this game vs Oak Ridge!  The offense ran through her in many different ways at the elbows, top of the key, etc.  Hurst look very comfortable playing away from the rim like a guard.  She finished with 17 points and 8 rebounds, and was 3-8 from three.  A 6'3 wing knocking down three 3's is why Hurst is a top 60 player nationally.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip
