I have been preaching about rosters since I started doing this, yet, sadly, something so simple can't be done which is why if I had another child playing, hey it's possible, I would be selective about who took care of business on and off the court <strong>but who cares what the dad of an over 10 year WNBA veteran has to say, someone with SENSE</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nevertheless, here ya go</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["878613"],"_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-6686c4b041010"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnson has allowed me to use "when I see JJ, Good Times are coming because she's DYNOMITE" and her versatility while playing up, her never taking a play off mindset. as well as her eagerness to learn just amazes me over and over.

Her poise under pressure immediately stood out because it was coming and she handled it, so watching her create her shot, as well as separation to get her shot off was nice, and so was her deceptive first step to attack the basket</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Amiris Johnson","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2029","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Stat Elite","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6686c4b04114e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnson grabbed my attention a few months ago when I called her a<strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/04/stat-elite-still-solid-tipoffclassic/"> future Top 100 player</a></em></strong> and guess what, I was right but I'm also a REAL EVALUATOR so guessing is not in the equation. Saying that is easy because she's "long and athletic" and will top "the magic number" but her timing right now is good, and so is her rebounding and scoring around the basket. She plays solid defense and scores off the dribble</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":938322,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Kourtney Blakemore","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2029","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Stat Elite","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6686c4b0411ca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Blakemore also <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/04/stat-elite-still-solid-tipoffclassic/">grabbed my attention a few months ago </a></em></strong>and with her understanding of how to use her athleticism on both ends coupled with her UPS, I knew she would be heading up, Up and AWAY before it's all said and done. Her "on the ball" pressure is smothering at times, both in the set as well as baseline to baseline yet she's also strong and can overpower defenders off the dribble, as well as around the basket. Her court vision is good, she also showed she could drop the midrange </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
