The guard brings a bit of grit, actively attacking the rim to draw fouls, especially if help defense is late. Not to mention that Clark produced with 22-5 Mead, who went to the final four for the 5A playoffs. Her willingness to stay physical while maintaining effectiveness beyond the arc makes Clark one of the most refined guards in this class.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6631723d2b1dd"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["735192"],"_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":"13.1 PPGrnrn3.1 APGrnrn2 RPGrnrn2 SPGrnrnA quick athlete, Spellman is a thorn in the side of opposing ball handlers, quick to take away space at the point of attack. Adept at closing the gap, getting a hand into the opponent's space, she does a great job at speeding up opponents. While handling the ball, she looks to attack the paint, leveraging his twitchy handle and effectiveness changing speeds to generate space. She has shown upside as a three point shooter, most effective off the catch, although the quick release may allow her to be an efficient pull-up threat in the near future. Certainly a two-way backcourt prospect worth following this summer.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6631723d2b262"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["631341"],"_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":"6 PPGrnrn4 RPGrnrn2 APGrnrn3.1 SPGrnrn52% 2PrnrnNelson helped Northfield reach the 5A finals, adding grit and quick instincts to a savvy defensive group. Constantly active while off-ball, Nelson looks to crash the glass for rebounds on either end, willing to draw contact if it means securing a loose ball. Defensively, she holds her own at the point of attack or rotating from the weak side, utilizing her wide reach to impact opposing shot attempts. As well, Nelson kept her head up for the extra pass, often looking to drive and kick for shooters.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6631723d2b2b7"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["631436"],"_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":"6.8 PPGrnrn2.4 RPGrnrn1.9 APGrnrn36% 3PrnrnMoon is a talented perimeter player, effective rising up into shots from all over the floor.
