Adalyn plays the game with a solid amount of patience but blends a nice touch of aggression as well. Her off the dribble attack is just as effective as her ability to shoot beyond the arc. She makes plays at a high level, and I only see her IQ increasing as she gets more games and years under her belt. A type of player that can be successful in almost any type of situation.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["827444"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6657ee80ab7c9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"center","placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="has-text-align-center text-gray-700"><em>Tart has the skillset that can put up strong numbers in almost every major stat category. She plays longer than her height suggests. The athleticism mixed in with her poise and controlled style has been key on the defensive side of the ball too. She's a headache for all guards. A player who puts just as much focus into her ability to defend as she does to score. There's no question why D1 coaches are sending offers. High potential. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["840879"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6657ee80ab810"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"center","placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="has-text-align-center text-gray-700"><em>One of the most impressive prospects I've seen in person so far this summer. Hinton has taken major leaps in her game over the past years. The outside training has definitely shown in her progression in multiple ways. Her ability to be aware and effective in the passing lanes is one of the main things that sticks out to me whenever I see her take the floor. Then there's her playmaking skillset that needs to be watched. She takes calculated risks, and doesn't second guess her decisions when making tough passes. Excited to see how she grows over the next couple of years. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["514889"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6657ee80ab853"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"center","placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="has-text-align-center text-gray-700"><em>A pure scoring type of prospect who can be effective at all levels. Her form and release allows her to shoot from all multiple angles and decent distance.
