Her ability to "catch and shoot" is ahead of her years but she has a scorer's mentality as she finds ways to put the ball in the basket <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/07/2029-watchlist-super64/">see evaluation here</a>.</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["915490"],"_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-6721524397c14"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lester grabbed my attention the first time I saw her as she received my<strong> TIMEX </strong>award, took a hit but kept on clicking, and guess what, she has continued to impress me with not only her skill set but comprehension proving #sizedontmatter when you can play<strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/ellie-mae-lester/"> see evaluations here. </a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["879715"],"_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-6721524397c6c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Heihn sold me immediately with her ability to knock down jumpers from wherever she wanted against older players on opening day at one of the <strong>Prep Girls Hoops </strong>events. To ensure I wasn't seeing a mirage, on day 2 she mixed it up offensively by scoring off the dribble and seeing the floor across the board. She did a good job defensively, and even played the passing lane but those <strong>NBA 3s </strong>were still falling. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["974879"],"_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-6721524397cbc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jackson has a couple of things that will bring next-level attention immediately and one is she stands at "the magic number" which is 6'0 and she's also "long and athletic" which is the base. I mentioned her <strong>UPS </strong>as being one of her intangibles when I wrote about her <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/08/2029-shining-stars-whosnxt-pt-2/">see evaluation here</a></em></strong> yet her multiple ways to finish are ahead of her years. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["946967"],"_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-6721524397d0c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ramsey gave me a couple of great looks over the club season and I mentioned how focused she was under pressure. She handled the ball and saw the floor while being tightly guarded yet I also enjoyed her "on the court" progression from my first sighting <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/07/2029-watchlist-super64/">see evaluation here. </a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["946964"],"_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-6721524397d60"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Merkel has so much <strong>SWAG </strong>about her game and her "strictly business" mindset is going to give defenders a problem for a long time. She too gave me a couple of great looks over the club season and watching her effortlessly drop it from deep is what initially impressed me but she showed so much more <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/07/2029-watchlist-super64/">see evaluation here. </a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["917079"],"_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-6721524397db9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Roy can be mesmerizing with the ball because she does things not only fluidly, but instinctively. Her variety of moves, including the HEZ, can leave the defender helpless as she gets to the rim whenever she wants. Her body control on her finishes after contact is nice, and so is her upside<strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/jordan-roy/"> see evaluations here </a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
