I-35 Showcase (Kansas) Notes Guards (Part 1)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A great showing this past Sunday at the I-34 Showcase in Wichita. First I would like to thank them for hosting a great event as always. The talent level was very competitive and I was able to see several players for the first time in person. I listed notes on 6 guard that caught my eye. These are not full evals as I only got to see them play in a small time frame. They are players that have I added to my list of players to watch. Great job ladies and good luck this upcoming season.

Hard nose driver that took on the contact around the rim for several And 1 finishes. Tough ball handler that would back down the defender into a post position and from there she just went to work. Up tempo guard that pushed the ball up the floor going coast to coast. Another nice player that is part of a solid BTW program. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["315243"],"_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-66e8dfee3b4c5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A shooting guard that was on fire the second game of the day. Knocking down 4 from deep in the game. A combo guard that has the skill set to play the 1/2 positions. Scrappy physical guard that seemed to enjoyed a physical type of game. Meaning she has a motor and plays with lot of energy, Tough defender on the ball getting several steals in game play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A player that I think is flying what I would consider under the radar. Addi ahs transferred to Holland Hall for her senior season. A great addition to a squad that already has guards and forwards</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":"Riley Johnson","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'7u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12121","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Choctaw High School","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='716211' first='Team' last='Griffin']","_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-66e8dfee3b57c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">First time seeing Riley play in person and I was impressed with her tough physical play. A good ball handler in the half court game that use tough angles on drives to avoid the blocked shot. Hit a couple of outside shots in the game I watched keeping defender up allowing a driving opportunity at times.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The one aspect of her game that stood out was her defense. Quick on the ball defense keeping the pressure on at all times forcing her sideways and not letting them get downhill. At times her offense came off a defensive steal or play. A hard nose player that plays with a All In attitude. </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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1220158' first='Tegan' last='Snodgrass']","_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":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12121","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Dodge City High School","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Kansas United ","_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-66e8dfee3b62b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A player that I had seen on social media and enjoyed watching her highlights. Sunday was first time in person seeing her play and let me say it was impressive. A combo guard that can play either 1/2 spot and did both very well. Great size for a guard listed at 5'9 and I still believe there are some inches left in there.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Handles the ball with control and poise. A player that scan score in many ways. She can knock down the outside shot, beat you off the dribble for layup or cut off the ball for a layup. The one thing that impressed me was a fastbreak possession she knew where she wanted to throw but waited for teammate to turn before throwing it. Great signs of player that sees it before it happens. A 2029 that for sure will be on my list</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["424599"],"_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-66e8dfee3b695"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A excellent 3 pointer shooter that moves without the ball always open for the kick out. Understands good spacing of offense lifting or drifting to the corner to keep open the driving lanes. Made good decisions on the drives when ran off the 3 point line. Good vision and handles in the open floor advancing the ball with a pass. A very scrappy defender that will get on the floor to gain possession. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A player that I will be following this season to see where she commits to play after high school. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["544006"],"_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-66e8dfee3b6fe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lexi effort just stood out from the start of the first game and did not end til the final horn of the last game. A player that always seemed around the ball making good plays. Good handles and vision from the point guard spot making good sound decisions. A up tempo guard that looks to push the ball up the floor in transition. Understood in transition when it was there and if not pulled it out to set up the team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A point guard that can shoot the outside shot hitting several throughout the day.

Another first timer for me that continued to stand out as I watched her team play. The thing that stood out the most was how shifty she was on the drives. It was down hill but seemed to slide to the right or left to get the shot off. It was just very smooth as if she was working in and out the cones.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Good vision on the drives that was looking for the backside drop to her teammates for the score. A good shooter from the outside as she knocked down several in the games I enjoyed watching her player as she seemed to always make things happen.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
