I hadn't seen her in a couple of seasons, she made my Tip Sheet at the <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2022/09/the-glue-pghtexasfreshmanshowcase/">PGH Texas Freshman Showcase</a></em></strong> yet she continues to excel with her new club team. Her court vision has gotten better, and so has her creating her shot and dropping it from mid to long-range while being defended yet her defense, including playing the passing lane was also solid </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["825273"],"_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-66a6565d28e9d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Minnit has always been tough, on both ends and that includes mental toughness as she has always shown me that pressure doesn't faze her. After all, she falls into that #sizedontmatter group, because she can play. Her intensity on defense had me smiling as she applied pressure baseline to baseline and just wouldn't let up yet her quickness off the dribble to score as well as dropping the jumper from mid to long-range, was also nice</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":[1180400],"_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-66a6565d28edd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kelly is in a unique situation as her high school team is coming off of back-to-back state championships and after watching her play a few weeks ago, at the TJ Showcase, she made me <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/06/game-changers-tjshowcase/">GAMECHANGERS </a></em></strong>Tip Sheet as her poise under pressure simply blew me away and I called her the UNSUNG hero on both her high school and club teams and here's why. She's a long and athletic guard who can defend, rebound, and play the passing lane. Over her career, she has gotten hers in the flow offensively yet that jumper is looking good, mid to long-range, and so are her acrobatic finishes as well as court vision </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["486443"],"_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-66a6565d28f18"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Piles gave me a glimpse a week before at the <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/07/sunday-standouts-super64/">Super 64 </a></em></strong>yet I caught her a couple of full games at the NJI and she showed me even more. I guess her "on the ball" defense surprised me with her versatility because she also defended inside the paint as well as in the set yet her baseline-to-baseline pressure had me smiling as she showed her athleticism. She also read the floor and did something I love seeing, "play the passing lane" and dropped it from outside </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["906925"],"_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-66a6565d28f4f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lashley-Hill keeps climbing up the ladder by doing the same things consistently like going AFTA everything off the rim, in the air, and even on the floor. She has made one of my Tip Sheets several times, the last one was on the <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/05/17u-division-power-in-the-paint-duelforthedynasty/">PGH Circuit in Duel For The Dynasty</a>,</em></strong> and watching her overpower players to score inside the paint keeps me smiling. Yeah, she's long and athletic, which will always be the base, scores off the dribble, and can drop the jumper yet she can also apply "on the ball" pressure from everywhere </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["899722"],"_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-66a6565d28f86"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brooks is a "long and athletic" guard which is also the base and her tenacity on the defensive end creates havoc and usually leads to turnovers with the ball going the other way. She has quick hands and that gets her some steals yet she also reads the floor and plays the passing lane to get some. Her ballhandling and court vision afterward leads to baskets or scoring opportunities for her teammates. She also scores off the dribble and can drop the jumper, stop, and pop in transition included </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["897409"],"_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-66a6565d28fbc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jones gave me an eyeful when I finally caught up with her after not seeing her much since middle school and what she showed was enough to be added to the <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/06/2025-rankings-update-new-names-part-2-5/">Top 100</a></em></strong> on the last update. Guess what, she had both eyes wide open and will be making a major jump on the next update, and here's why. Yeah, she's long and athletic, you know what that means, and stands above "the magic number" so that in itself is an attraction for next-level coaches yet she punished inside the paint, on both ends, scoring after contact and BATTLING for everything off the rim. Just as important was timing to block, alter, and (or) deflect shots as well as her court vision and defense </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
