I watched her to the free throw line twelve times in one game! As a super athletic PF, she's almost impossible for bigger player to stay in front of. Down the road, Lyde will be a matchup nightmare, and is already in the top 20 in the state in free throws attempted.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["506231"],"_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":"Crawford is the best player on a really nice Dyersburg team.

She averages 13 points per game as a 5'8 junior, but doesn't use the 3 ball much. She's constantly attacking the rim, and collapsing defenses.
