Impressive AAU team 

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Over the past month, PV Thunder has impressed me. They have many players who fly under the radar, and if you're in NOVA, this team has many players who will be taking major jumps next season if they aren't stars already. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["827295"],"_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":"u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003eTatum Olson had a good year for Mclean, and she has gotten off to a great start this AAU season. A few weeks ago, she turned many heads with her defense at the Hoop Group Girls event. Tatum is physical and a committed defender. She shoots the ball well and has improved a lot as a driver. Her stock is going up this summer, and she should build on her first-team all-district selection going into her senior season.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["640501"],"_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":"u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003eVirginia Academy is losing some offensive firepower, so Junior guard [player_tooltip player_id='640501' first='Sydney' last='Moore'] will play a more significant role next season.

She can shoot the ball and is an intelligent PG. She knows how to run an offense and is a fantastic passer. Katie is an active defender and rebounds the ball well for a guard. She is the only player I was not very familiar with on this PV Thunder team coming into this spring, but she has impressed me. Katie will be a bigger name in Maryland because of how well she has performed.  u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["598926"],"_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":"u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003eAnya is one of the more well-known players on this team. She already won district and region player of the year for Langley. She came into this AAU season without a D1 offer, but she picked up her first one because of her high-level play recently. Her passing ability and IQ have been noticed, along with her shooting, which she is known for.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["755774"],"_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":"u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003eBrooke Chang is a player who will take one of the biggest leaps heading into her junior year.

Brooke embodies what makes Oakton girls' basketball such a good team, and she is someone to keep your eye on. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["238923"],"_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":"u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003eLeah Keyes is one of the bigger names on this squad, and for good reason. She has racked up state championships and made first-team all-state. Leah is a versatile defender and a talented offensive player. With all this being said, I still feel like Leah has a lot of untapped potential and can still unlock parts of her game. She recently reopened her recruitment, so I think she is an exciting player to watch going forward. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["719276"],"_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":"u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003eClaire Kang has gotten off to a good start this AAU period. Her passing and overall offensive ability have been great. She was another impressive performer at the Hoop Group event a few weeks back. Claire will have a more significant role following Centreville's losing two starters. At times in her sophomore year, I felt like she struggled to turn the ball over and play too fast. If she cleans these things up, she should be one of the more productive guards in NOVA for 2026.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["733712"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003eMya Blackshear is a high-level defender who has been recognized over the past month. She is a defensive playmaker who uses her length effectively. Mya is a smart basketball player who shows her ability as a passer on offense. I still feel like Mya is a little raw offensively, but she will take a big jump when she figures it out this summer. I think she may be the player here who could take the biggest jump.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_8_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_8_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_8_player_details_player_name":"Sanaiya Edmond","_player_evaluations_8_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_8_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_8_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_8_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_8_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_8_player_details_position":"12124","_player_evaluations_8_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_8_player_details_school":"Paint Brush High school ","_player_evaluations_8_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_8_player_details_club_team":"PV Thunder ","_player_evaluations_8_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_8_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_8_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003eSanaiya Edmond is a versatile and skilled player in her first year for PV Thunder.
