Her timing to block shots along with playing the passing lane has always been there and that, along with rebounding, she has shown she can handle the ball afterward to score. Her defense both in and outside the paint looked good, so did her attacking the basket yet her u0022turnaround jumperu0022 inside the paint had me smiling","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["855743"],"_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":"Okeke makes her presence felt immediately as she is learning how to take over games on both ends of the court. She's u0022strong, long and athleticu0022 and she gave me the u0022hands and footworku0022 numerous times to score around the basket, with either hand. She also score on putbacks, yes, she rebounds on both ends of the court but what impressed be even more was her court vision from both the high and low post. She also is dropping the 10 footer better yet her interior defense is more than solid","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Scout Legate","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"12120","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Lake Dallas","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='715158' first='Team' last='Stay Ready'] 17U","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Legate caught my eye at the PGH Dynasty Region Kick Off yet had both eyes wide opened as I saw a vast amount of improvement from not only her, but her teammates as well. She uses her frame well on both ends, she understands how to pick and roll, she finishes around the basket after contact and her defense inside the paint was also a plus","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["525669"],"_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":"Kilburn showed her versatility playing under the basket, yeah I know she's a shooting guard that can score in droves from to long-range yet she stands around u0022that magic numberu0022 which is 6'0, college coaches love big guards that can shoot yet they also love those who can play multiple positions, which is a great word because she understands u0022positioningu0022 and outrebounded taller player, and scored over them inside the paint.

She gets the cover photo because she was hard to cover throughout the event and watching her elevate over defenders to score had me smiling. She showed good timing to block, alter and (or) deflect shots, she played the passing lane, she scored off the dribble and she hit the boards, on both ends. Guess what else, she makes her Top 100 debut in July","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["678719"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"Yates is a monster inside the paint yet she's about to become even scarier as she's been reclassified to the 2026 class. To give you an idea of how strong and powerful she is, I have watched her score with players literally hanging on her back. She falls into that double-double waiting to happen group, her court vision and attacking off the dribble has improved yet even more importantly, I truly enjoyed how she kept pumping her teammates up and THAT is something you can't teach","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["597325"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"Hampton continues her club season tear impressing others.
