<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Part 2 also has some players I hadn't seen for quite some time as well as some who continue to elevate their games</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["890449"],"_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-67065975daeb7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Phoenix grabbed my attention while playing in Houston a few seasons ago and I had no idea she had moved to the Dallas area but like the song "By The Time I Get To Phoenix" she was RISIN and leaving a lasting first impression is one thing but taking her game upwards was another as she left me speechless at #Super64 <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/07/2025-26-opening-day-standouts-super64/">see evaluation here </a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["740969"],"_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-67065975daf08"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ford was one of the standouts at the Houston Christian Camp a couple of seasons ago <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2023/08/houston-christian-camp-2026-top-performers/">see evaluation here</a></em></strong><span style="margin: 0px;padding: 0px"><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2023/08/houston-christian-camp-2026-top-performers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em><strong>. </strong></em></a>Yet, I</span> hadn't seen her due to the numerous platforms all over the place and club teams refusing to turn in rosters yet my PGH Texas colleague @playerrimedies gave me several updates and video links. Her tenacity on defense is even better, and so is her attacking and scoring yet her court vision is also creating some problems </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["950231"],"_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-67065975daf4b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Walker falls into one of those categories I love to evaluate and that's "big guards who can shoot" yet more importantly, many next-level coaches also love that profile. I knew she could shoot it off the screen, as well as drop the "stop and pop" in transition yet watching her multiple times during the viewing periods, I was overly impressed with her being able to create her shot and drop it or go by the defender to score. She does a good job defending as well as rebounding plus her "catch and shoot" was nice</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["898290"],"_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-67065975daf88"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Winn walked up to me after an event last season and her exact words were "I'm going to make that Top 100" and I just looked at her. Well, I never stopped and she falls into so many #THROWBACK things from another era like diving for loose balls, understanding how to take charges, as well as getting positioning for rebounds. Yeah, she scores around the basket, as well as off the dribble yet her midrange has improved, along with her court vision yet she goes hard on both ends as she SIMply refuses to be outworked </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["948978"],"_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-67065975dafc4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Marquez gave me an eyeful to open up this season's #Super64 and when you come out dropping jumpers at 9 in the morning like she was, all I could do was smile<strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/07/2025-26-opening-day-standouts-super64/"> see evaluation here</a></em></strong> I enjoyed watching her consistently keep the defender off balance to create her shot yet she also does a good job of "creating spacing" to get it off over the outstretched hands of defenders. I caught her a couple of more times just to make sure, nothing change except her range was even deeper</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
