It looked basically impossible to keep her from touching the paint and making plays. Sain attacked the lane with both hands and finished on both sides of the rim. She got buckets at the rim going both through defenders and getting creative and finessing shots. Sain also looked very pure off the catch and shoot.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["420735"],"_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":"Being on a heater doesn't mean just scoring points.

Slotman could have stole the refs whistle this weekend with Drive Premier 2027 Bowers. Her defense was nothing short of elite. In a 3 game stretch she totaled 12 steals. Slotman flaunted her defensive vision and anticipation all weekend. Defense transfers so next level coaches were sure to pay attention.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["807310"],"_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":"Therrian was definitely on a heater with Always 100 [program_tooltip program_id='715924' first='Michigan' last='Anarchy'].

She shrugged off defenders and powered through finishes.
