Out Of Town Stars Shine #TheNextWave

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>How does it go? Oh yeah, #talentiseverywhere if you know what you're looking at, so I'm going to start with players who traveled the farthest to attend the camp that touched on many bases so part 1 of 3 drops now</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["915490"],"_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-66b8b8dbe6eba"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lester has been on my radar for a few years after watching her take a hard hit which had me thinking she was done, only to come back and drop a game-winning 3, she joins a few I've personally seen do that. Here we go to the now, her playing passing lane JUST DID IT for me, along with her "on the ball" defense yet her acrobatic finishes after contact were nice, and so was her "catch and shoot" from deep</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["966329"],"_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-66b8b8dbe6f5c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Benavidez is "heady and vocal" on the court, let me drop #THROWBACK on that alone, well add "follows her shot" as well. She understands how to create her shot under pressure and drop it while being defended, her deceptive first step helped her score off the dribble yet her court vision was also a plus. She does a good job defensively and also did what I love seeing, play the passing lane</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["917079"],"_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-66b8b8dbe6fcd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Roy had me thinking "Oh boy" as she left a lasting first impression with her spin move in traffic to finish. She also gave me the slight HEZ to attack and finish, at times after contact but she understands how to get the defender off balance. Her step back was nice, and so was her "catch and shoot" as she dropped the mid to NBA range jumper. She saw the floor, played solid defense, and the passing lane</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["966330"],"_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-66b8b8dbe703b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Long continues to show me her solid skill set as well as her upside because her "hands and footwork" to finish will only get better and when you factor in she's not too far from that magic number of 6'0 and her strong frame, I expect defenders to have some issues guarding her. Here's the kicker, she can score from midrange as well as off the dribble, yet her court vision is also nice. She hit the boards on both ends and played the passing lane</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["966336"],"_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-66b8b8dbe70ab"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Long, yes there twins, showed her versatility on both ends starting with her rebounding on both ends yet handling the ball afterward. She also did a good job with her interior defense yet she stepped outside the paint to guard her man. I got a kick out of her going coast to coast and finishing, yet she also dropped the midrange. Her pull-up jumper coupled with her scoring off the dribble will give her options and keep the defender guessing </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["966339"],"_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-66b8bb3e069b7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gatica was one of the youngest attendees at the camp yet she gave me a glimpse of what she could do last weekend at the <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/08/top-performers-4th-5th-grade-division-atxsummerhavoc/">#ATXSummerHavoc</a></em></strong>. Her upside is scary, not for me but for defenders because she does things instinctively against older players and her already showing she can "catch and shoot" is huge. She scored off the dribble, saw the floor, and even blocked some shots, as well as rebounded yet her playing the passing lane helped drop the mic</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
