Team Spotlight: Lake Washington Kangaroos

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Coming off a very strong 2023-24 season, the Lake Washington Kangaroos will look to improve upon that and have an even better 2024-25 season. Here are some difference makers for this great team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["547615"],"_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-670d9b5a18048"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Paige is a player who is very confident in her ability to shoot the ball at an elite level. She can shoot it very well from three-point range, and she's very confident and calm at the free-throw line. What makes Paige even better is that she's not limited to just her shot, but when defenders step up, she is very good at finding the extra pass. A confident player, Paige should be a leader for this Lake Washington team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["730304"],"_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-670d9b5a180a8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A forward with great size, Reese works hard on both ends of the floor to make a difference. She positions herself in a way to set herself up for easy baskets in the paint, runs the floor well, as well as making herself known on the defensive end, picking up players down low and on the perimeter. Reese should play a big part in Lake Washington's success in the upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["317597"],"_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-670d9b5a180ea"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ashley is an exceptional guard coming off of an all-time season last year, one that earned herself 3A KingCo MVP, and she is now approaching her junior season. She is extremely confident shooting from three, breaking the school record for threes made last season, and does a tremendous job at finding her shot, either through her positioning or her moves to create a shot. I am very excited to see what Ashley has in store for the 2024-25 season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["666163"],"_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-670d9b5a18128"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A great 5'11" forward going into her junior year, AC is a presence in the paint for the Kangaroos. She can finish amongst bodies in the paint, and she positions herself very well. She's a force on the defensive end as well, looking to contest shots and come away with rebounds. She and [player_tooltip player_id='730304' first='Reese' last='Roberts'] should be a spectacular combo in the frontcourt. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["676259"],"_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-670d9b5a18165"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Julia is a super dynamic guard that gets it done all over the court for her team. She has the skillset to score at all three levels, she has great court vision and finds open teammates really well, and she rebounds the ball tremendously for a guard. She also works very hard on the defensive end, pressuring whoever she's defending. It'll be exciting to see Julia in action when the season arrives.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
