Gilbert is an explosive guard that is really dangerous out in space. High level scorer on all three levels. Capable of getting hot and carrying a team with a 20 point night. One of the better on the ball defenders in the class. Makes up for her size with heart and passion. She's a fun player to watch, and will be really important to Cookeville's success this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["748461"],"_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-66e30350b2435"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='748461' first='Bailey' last='Blair'] is sneaky good! She's a high IQ player that makes an an explosive scoring duo with [player_tooltip player_id='403162' first='Shelby' last='Higgins']. Blair averaged 16.5 points a game with 46% from the field, and 40% from three. Her mixture of basketball IQ and motor give her an infectious energy that makes everyone better. Really stellar defender as well. In for a huge junior year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["816611"],"_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-66e323f6e7e4e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='816611' first='Raylee' last='Werner'] is an awesome PG. She's got a high level skill set as a shifty ball handler, defender, facilitator and scorer. She has been the starting PG at York since she got to High School, she has immense experience playing at a high level against high level opponents. She's an elite penetrator and is adept at slivering through tiny spaces to get to the rim. Makes the right rim reads once she gets into the paint--score, spray to shooter, or bounce to the big. Has made great strides as a three point shooter. Elite level defender. Also averaged over 6 rebounds a game for Trotters Williams. Big time rebounder from the PG spot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["509171"],"_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-66e323f6e7e99"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Spencer will be the catalyst for this year's Lebanon team. She's an explosive athlete that is really tough to stay in front of. She has a nice handle, she's shifty, and is really good changing speeds. I've written before that she has multiple "pickups" that allow her to avoid help defenders. She hit 65 threes last year, which puts her in the upper echelon of shooters. Spencer gets after it on the defensive end as well. I really like her game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["900232"],"_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-66e323f6e7ed8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wear has improved rapidly over the past two seasons. She's jumped into Nya Burn's vacated spot, and averaged 10 points a game and hit almost 50 threes. She will she her role continue to grow as GP graduated 20+ points a game in Newman. Her stock is rising.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":[893861],"_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-66e323f6e7f15"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Clark is an extremely underrated guard for White County. She averaged almost 10 point and 4 rebounds a game last season. She's a versatile kid that can play multiple positions. Is at her best attacking the rim offensively. She's an elite defender that led her district in steals as a sophomore. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
