She intercepted passes and took it coast to coast to finish or draw contact and get to the line. Although her team came up short by 5 it was an<strong> electrifying performance</strong> by Menefield. Her speed was unmatched in transition as she appeared to be faster with the ball than without. Once Menefield unlocks the total domination mindset, and tightens her handles she will be nonstop because she has unlimited raw athleticism to tap into.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["899785"],"_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-665e8f8c7c756"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lockdown defender. She sets the aggressive tone at the top of the press, as opposing point guards can't get by her. On the other end, she attacks the gaps to get in the paint and makes timely kick outs to open teammates. Knight has the ability to hit from deep!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["525606"],"_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-665e8f8c7c795"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> O'Brien boasts a TEXTBOOK hesitation move! The way she lifts her shoulders and moves one foot back while looking at the basket, gets her man in the air or off balance every time. She uses this quick first step to blow past defenders. Once she gets inside the paint, she's getting to the cup. Fiesty player that is extremely aggressive and will get offensive boards following her own shot after a miss. If she's not leading the break, she takes off and spots up for 3.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["849258"],"_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-665e8f8c7c7d1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Menace on the boards! I watched her wreak havoc inside as she snatched rebounds for put back after put back or a chance to score from the free throw line. It's one thing to just be a rebounding magnet, but Carbajal kept the ball high and looking to score the offensive board before her opponents could land on their two feet after missing the board.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["802033"],"_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-665e8f8c7c811"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Smooth slasher. Adams has great timing and decision making. She understands how to be patient and waits for ball movement before slashing into the lane to attack. Her sweet spot seems to be a turn around jumper in the lane that she was able to connect on with multiple defenders covering her.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
