She can get to the rim and finish, pull up for the mid-range jumper as well as knock down the trey ball. Like the kids say she is a BUCKET!  Whatever her team needed she provided at a high level. From a timely basket to a savvy defense play, her ability to play both on both ends of the floor is what truly makes her the Real Deal!  Her dynamic ball handling and elite court vision gives her the ability to seem to always make the right basketball play. Small in stature but extremely crafty and capable.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["382877"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":893839,"_player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Towns is a pass first point guard. She has great vision with a silky smooth handle. Her change of pace makes it nearly impossible for her primary defender to stay in front. In transition with her high IQ she knows exactly when to attack and once the help comes a dime will be thrown. She has nice finishing skills with the ability to absorb contact. On the defensive end she has quick hands and nice lateral movement that can be an opposing point guards worst nightmare. Her decision making makes her a coaches dream at the lead guard position.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["323417"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":893846,"_player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Davis is a combination of strength and athleticism. The lefty combo guard is a matchup problem. If you put a smaller defender on her she will use her strength to bully her way to the bucket. If you try to neutralize her with a bigger defender she will use her quickness and blow by. She embraces contact in a way that embodies hard nose basketball. But please do not think she is one dimensional offensively, if you sink to take away her slashing ability she will shoot the ball with great range. She is also very active and physical on the defensive end and a solid rebounder at her size which allows her to start the break in transition.","_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":893886,"_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1227157' first='Raelee' last='Campbell']","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"12124","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"West Limestone ","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='713704' first='Alabama' last='Elite']","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Campbell is a very skilled post player. Her footwork was the first thing that caught my attention. Her skill set allows her to keep bigger defenders off balance and finish through contact. As for a smaller defender they do not stand a chance. She has excellent hands and touch around the basket.  She can also stretch the floor with her ability to knock down the 3. She runs the floor very well and is a tough rebounder on both ends. She has great length that can affect opponents shots and allows her to get her own.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["371480"],"_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":"Nelson is the definition of a lead guard. She possesses great quickness and athleticism combined with nice decision making. Her explosive first step allows her to get past defenders and create for herself and teammates. She finishes well in the paint with great body control. She also has a nice midrange game and solid shot from behind the arc that gives her an all-around offensive package. Defensively she is extremely disruptive and creates problems for opposing backcourts. With her being only a sophomore she has tremendous upside and a high ceiling.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_player_details_selected_featured_image":893891,"_player_evaluations_5_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_5_player_details_player_name":"Kenzie Privett","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_5_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_5_player_details_height":"5'7u0022","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_5_player_details_position":"12123","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_5_player_details_school":"Madison Academy","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_5_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='713704' first='Alabama' last='Elite']","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_5_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_5_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"Privett is a long rangy guard with great size. She has a nice feel for the point position. A skilled passer and facilitator with a high IQ. She is capable of controlling the pace and tempo of the game. A good rebounding guard which allows her to initiate the break. She is a knock down 3 point shooter with great range. Her length allows her to finish over smaller defenders and in the paint. This freshman has a very bright future and should be a name to watch as she continues to grow and mature.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-661bff2b7d8cc"} /-->
