She had 10 and 12 points in her first 2 games. Be reminded that she's also playing up 2 years.

She's shown that she's an elite shooter with the ability to fire from deep off the catch and with balance off the bounce. Wypych has been more than a shooter though. She's played the role of a rim runner, catching in the lane and finishing and showing the ability to play off the pivot. Wypych has been seeing the floor and delivering passes to cutting teammates with zip.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["613426"],"_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":"Rodriguez had one of the better Friday's in the midwest.

In Game 1 in Texas, she led her team in scoring with 16 points in a dominating win against Dash Elite.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["613422"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"The top ranked recruit in her class has committed to Michigan State. If Spartan fans are watching her play this weekend, they have to be thrilled. Williams isn't just rebounding. She's snapping the ball with incredibly strong hands. She's working all angles offensively, from setting physical screens to passing out of the post. Williams is basically showing all the tools of an elite national prospect.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["665472"],"_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":"[program_tooltip program_id='712507' first='Factory' last='Basketball']'s [player_tooltip player_id='665472' first='Samantha' last='Fuhs'] is demanding respect for her game. I love the passion and intensity that she shows on the floor. Fuhs has helped her Factory team to a 2-0 start at The Clash and she's done it on both ends of the floor. Fuhs is a versatile and physical defender that can sneak in from behind and challenge a shot. She's put up 17 and 14 points in the first 2 games.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["419531"],"_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":"Zajac was nothing short of incredible in her team's close loss in Game 1. She flaunted a very versatile and diverse offensive game on her way to a 30 point performance. Zajac scored from outside-in and inside-out. When she plays like this, an excellent [program_tooltip program_id='713024' first='Michigan' last='Drive Premier'] 2025 S40 team will have a ton of success.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":7,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6623e1d047b03"} /-->
