Is still a versatile player, Destini can still double back and help out in the front court if needed. She plays the game aggressive and fast which she utilizes both offensively and defensively. With a nice first step for a wing and a constant threat in transition she's a threat score in many ways. A player that is raw at her position that will only get better, picked up her first offer! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["834729"],"_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-665ddc7a30ff7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Elite size at 6'5 and skills sets that will project to the next level! She might even get to as tall as 6'6 or 6'7, still a raw player with great upside who does a great job of pursuing tough rebounds. She is also capable of scoring the ball in the low block! Very long and has good athleticism and is a elite rim protector. With her size she makes her presence known at the defensive end of the floor. A player that plays a national schedule in high school her stock will only go up!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["749391"],"_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-665ddc7a3105c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Very good first step which allows her to attack the basket at a high level. Good frame at the point position she can absorb contact and finish strong at the basket. Payton is the type of guard that can space the floor out and she can go to work! Great in transition opportunities with or without the ball she gets in good position to a bucket! Skills have been on display the spring picking up two division one offers!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["791746"],"_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-665ddc7a310c8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Went from a center last year to now playing the stretch four and the wing  She brings excellent size and athleticism to the wing position, allowing her to impact the game in a variety of ways. A very raw player but the athleticism is there, you can see the transition for her to a wing with her being able to shoot the three pointer at a consistent level. Aja is capable of being a three level scorer and at 6'2 she will always be a matchup nightmare!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["551071"],"_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-665ddc7a31128"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Really good length, good athlete  that can get up and down the floor. Can be a dominant force on the glass and create second-chance scoring opportunities for her and teammates. Does a good job establishing position on the low block. Consistently use her body effectively, and finish strong around the rim with either hand! Has had a good start to the AAU season recently picking up an offer from Pittsburgh!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
