Fab 5 Friday at Spring Creek Mansfield Invitational

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Who JUST DID IT for me on Friday, there were plenty of players, and stay tuned for a whole lot of coverage from not only here but also the Sandra Meadows Classic which will continue into the new year but here ya go</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["486406"],"_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-67715aca2db57"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Crawford has been on my radar for a very long time and what I enjoy every time I watch her is that she gives me something different and "on the court" progression is something I love to see. Yeah, she has NBA range but watching her " catch and shoot" with a hand in her face had me smiling. She also set the defender up to attack and score after contact but her fearless mindset is something you can't teach, so watching her "on the ball" pressure and playing the passing lane was nice, and so was her court vision </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["782625"],"_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-67715aca2dbe5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ellison is "long and athletic" and if you didn't know I call that the BASE, well you should, and watching her score however she wanted was nice because her first step to attack and finish is hard to handle, so are her putbacks, yes, she rebounds on both ends. Still, she plays the passing lane and can handle the ball afterward. Her defense was solid, plus she gave me the "catch and shoot" 3</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["510473"],"_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-67715aca2dc4b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Richmond put her team on her back and watching her drop the midrange consistently from multiple spots, at times off balance, at times after contact, was nice but she wanted the ball in clutch situations and she delivered. She also used a deceptive first step to score off the dribble and her "stop and pop" jumper in transition needs to be mentioned along with her "catch and shoot" from deep </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["486452"],"_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-67715aca2dcad"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lewis filled up the stat sheet and probably was close to a triple-double but one thing I love is watching players who comprehend certain things and let me set the stage. Time is winding down in the 3rd, and the ball is loose heading the other way, she grabs it and knows where she is on the court and what angle she's shooting from and nails it, BACKWARDS, never looking at the goal. Ref called it off, I counted it but heer midrange, playing the passing lane as well as defense all stood out</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["385709"],"_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-67715aca2dd11"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Risby is smooth with the ball and understands how to get the defender off balance and score off the dribble using nice body control on her finishes, after contact included. She also creates her shot while being defended as well as creates spacing to drop the midrange but her "catch and shoot" from deep was nice along with her "on the ball" defense, which includes taking charges </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
