Freshman Showcase: Players Im Keeping An Eye Out For.

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The upcoming Illinois Freshman Showcase at Supreme Courts in Aurora will feature some of the top freshman basketball talent from across the state. Below are a couple of freshmen I'm especially excited to watch. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["964921"],"_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-66bc07cd36c1d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">If you tuned into a couple of Izzy's games at the Windy City Shootout, you caught glimpses of a talented kid who can hold her own against upperclassmen. She's crafty, risky, and shows extreme confidence in her jumper. She'll be a focal point for her HS program for next couple of years, looking forward to her growth. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["883515"],"_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-66bc07cd36c7f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lang plays the game at such a steady pace. Her length is key to why she's so effective on the court. From a scoring standpoint, she can get to the rim and score from behind the arc. I believe her off-ball movement is one of her stronger skills. Active, aware, and plays hard on the majority of the possessions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["881800"],"_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-66bc07cd36cca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The fundamentals, the size, and the solid athleticism are there. Harris could be one of those sleeper prospects with major upside. Her overall game isn't all scoring; it's what she does without the ball that sticks out to me. She can be a pest for players on the defensive end of the court, and she seems like she enjoys playing defense. Offensively, she shows the craftiness and the ability to get to the rim. Time is on her side to grow her overall game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["954123"],"_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-66bc07cd36d11"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Green has a strong set of fundamentals, and she simply gets the job done. She's not the flashiest player, which I credit to why she's so effective when she's on the floor. Offensively, she's fearless when going to the right, and she shows the confidence to take shots from all spots beyond the arc. One of those prospects that truly lets the work speak.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["884390"],"_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-66bc07cd36d55"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Engler is in constant motion throughout every possession. It's rare to see her standing in one spot for more than 3-5 seconds. You can tell there's confidence in her game, just by how she moves throughout the court. She's not timid, she's not scared and doesn't seem to be afraid of contact either. One of those players who can slip in and out of being a scorer and a facilitator.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
