She's electric and explosive with the ball, yet plays very under control and deliberately. Carter doesn't force scoring opportunities, but instead creates them.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["613943"],"_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-66684bda35989"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ode is a thrilling prospect to watch and she put on a show in Belleville. She showed off her length and ball skills on Saturday, proving to be a big time mismatch. Ode is strong with her left hand. She went left to right and finished over the top of the defende. Ode also showed that she could work with her left hand off the baseline. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["613942"],"_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-66684bda359cb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cross might be one of the most improved players in the state. Her and [player_tooltip player_id='419533' first='Colleena' last='Bryant'] will be one of the most thrilling backcourts in Michigan next season. Cross is lightning fast up the court, with or without the ball. She was a constant threat from behind the arc at the shootout, especially off the catch. Best part of her day though, was that she was a factor on both ends of the floor. Cross was a pesky perimeter defender that turned defense into offense on multiple occasions. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["423690"],"_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-66684bda35a0b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Howard is going to have a big say in the success of the Salem team this year. With the graduation of star Madison Morson, plenty of opportunities are available. Howard is oozing with upside. At the shootout, she was a definite factor on the glass. Howard picked up out back buckets and limited possessions for her opponents. She's a physically strong player that has the potential to dominate the paint. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["807288"],"_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-66684bda35a4a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zajac is a really exciting prospect. She's kind of low key really improved her game greatly over the last few months. Zajac was strong and intentional in the paint. She was willing to initiate contact to gain position on the block. Zajac looked very comfortable off the right block and finishing over her right shoulder. She was able to draw contact and fi idh through it. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
