Dynasty Finals 17U Sunday Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I got a chance to provide wraparound coverage for the 17U division of the PGH Dynasty Finals tournament. 30 teams all under one math. Do the math: 30 teams times 10-15 players to calculate the total number of players competing. Here is a small percentage of standout players I caught.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["880876"],"_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-665f805ec212a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Carmouche was an absolute <strong>magnet </strong>to the ball! She is not a primary ball handler for her squad but still finds a way to get lots of touches. Either by banging on the boards or getting steals/deflections on defense, Carmouche was able to get the ball in her hands. On the offensive end, she uses great positioning to create contact and then understands how and when to move the defender up the lane for a lob pass ultimately leading to an easy finish.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["874619"],"_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-665f805ec217b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Great set shot. This is her bread and butter but she brings more to the table than just a developed shot. Nash knows when to drive in to score. I was impressed with her ability to guard opponents much larger than her. She did a nice job of using her body to sit on the offense and make sure entry passes were not guaranteed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["875597"],"_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-665f805ec21bc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Primary ball handler for her team with nice size and strength. Great job setting the pace and tone for her team. When she sees her squad has numbers in transition she does a good job attacking at a rapid pace. On the flip side, once she receives the outlet pass and sees it is not a good time for a transition break she will put the team in a set. Riot looks for her teammates before she looks to score, but she will attack the gaps and look for her own shot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["485534"],"_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-665f805ec21f9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">6'1 with a strong frame. Her strength makes her hard to guard as she moves well in the paint. When she cuts to the high post, low block or really all around the paint her presence is felt. Her established presence inside gives the rest of her team more flexibility to score on the perimeter. Effit consistently keeps the ball high and is a problem for opposing teams on the offensive glass.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["875843"],"_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-665f805ec2236"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On a team with lots of talented weapons, Williams plays the glue player role. She may not be in double digit scoring each game, but she is a vital player in her team's success as they made a semi-finals run. In the high low game, she did a tremendous job feeding the low post with accurate lobs. Her length allows her to disrupt opponents shots and grab stray boards. She does a great job of finishing shots with both hands.   </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["874742"],"_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-666330d424676"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Meyer has a poised shot. It's consistent and she knows when it's going in or is not. She does a great job setting up opponents. She jabs one way and makes a hard cut another to get open. This small thing makes a big difference as even after establishing as a scoring threat she is able to get open. Meyer understands how to post smaller opponents. She is a smart player with an instinct to score.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
