When she has the ball in transition, she's excellent at going hard at the defender until she gets on her heels, and then she likes to pop her feet right into a long three. Inside the gym range. Developing the ability now to get defenders scrambling over trying to contest her 3 ball, and taking them off the dribble. Tight handles. Will continue to improve as a playmaker off the bounce. Big time shot maker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["513275"],"_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-66e350a95425e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Big wing with a high ceiling. She's turned herself into a legit 3 level scorer. Her ability to scorer inside, either off the move or with her back to the basketball, is efficient. She's a really tough matchup for opposing guards. Knows how to use head fakes, pumps, step through, and her shoulders to create space in the post. Has turned into a lights-out 3 point threat, which unlocks everything else. Supremely confident, if the defender doesn't get into her air space, she's going to pull it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["513279"],"_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-66e350a9542a1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A BIG wing that will probably end up being a stretch 4 in college. Growing skill set on the perimeter. Becoming more and more confident taking bigs off the bounce and getting into her bag. Is a matchup nightmare as she'll post up smaller wings. Really nice footwork. Nice stroke from three. Crashes the glass hard on offensive. Defensively can guard multiple positions. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["513246"],"_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-66e350a9542dc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rucker is still growing in her perimeter skill set, and likely will end up a stretch 4 in college. Is in her comfort zone when she attacking the rim. Really nice penetration game and tough to stay in front of. Nice athleticism and strength. Elite rebounder from the wing. Tough to keep off the offensive glass. Shoots a really nice percentage from the line which tells me her stroke is pure, and she'll eventually stretch her range.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["810523"],"_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-66e350a954316"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Carroll exploded up recruiting boards this summer for Trotters '26 Williams. She's always been supremely athletic with big time hops. But, her skill level (spurred by a huge work ethic) has finally caught up to her athleticism. She has started knocking down threes, attacking closeouts, and is scoring at all three levels. Really tough when she gets to the rim. Rebounds and defends at very high levels. Does seemingly a bit of everything well. Really diverse kid.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
