Defensively, she excels at getting into passing lanes, racking up steals and deflections, while also being a strong rebounder. On offense, Amaia is a versatile scorer who can adjust her game based on what the defense gives her.

Her ability to rebound at a high level and defend the paint makes her a force on both ends of the court. Emma's knack for making winning plays sets her apart, as she's always in the right spot to help her team succeed. Now that she's back, her presence in the paint will be a game-changer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["329348"],"_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-66f720681887e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Isabella is one of the top guards in her class, and her return will make an immediate impact. She's a deadly shooter who can hit from deep, but she's also able to get to the rim with her crafty handle. On the defensive side, she's a lockdown defender, capable of shutting down the opposing team's best player. Her two-way game will be a major boost for her team as she steps back on the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["789180"],"_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-66f72068188d8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nala is a downhill guard who thrives in transition, using her speed and aggressiveness to put points on the board quickly. She's a constant threat in the open court and knows how to finish through contact. Defensively, she's not afraid to guard anyone, making her a true competitor on both ends. Nala's return adds a dynamic scoring option and a tenacious defender to her team's lineup.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["631347"],"_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-66f7206818930"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sophia is a sharpshooter, particularly dangerous from the corners and the wing. She's the kind of player who can stretch the defense with her shooting, providing a reliable outlet for her teammates when the defense collapses. On the other end, she's a scrappy defender, willing to pick up full court and make life difficult for opposing guards. Her return will provide her team with both offensive firepower and defensive grit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
