Taylor had a standout performance, showcasing her ability to light it up from the outside by hitting five three-pointers in a single game. At 5'8", her consistent three-point shooting makes her a prospect that colleges need to keep an eye on—especially considering she's only a sophomore.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["874205"],"_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-6771e7db87acf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='874205' first='E'mani' last='Pryor'] is a DOMINANT force.

She has the ability to use her length to finish high off the glass or utilize misdirection dribbles to put defenders out of position. She also demonstrated her skill with a pull-up jumper in transition, which is a very advanced skill for her age. Alana is a baller and is only just getting started.
