She is in command running her offense, smooth handles and plays the game in control. Very athletic and uses her quickness to create shots. Nice pull-up jumper, can also slash to the rim and score. Her on ball defense is a problem for her opponent.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["874431"],"_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-675711c769407"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">She may be listed as a freshman, but this girl has a big game! For her it will just be learning the varsity game and settling into that speed and physicality. She has all the tools to be great, plays with a high motor, high intensity and a solid basketball IQ. <em>(Featured photo above)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

Week 2 is in the books around Ohio, and I got to see some outstanding rising underclassmen over the last few days. Yesterday I looked at some of the freshman who stood out, but they were not alone. Here are a few more freshman and sophomores who caught my attention.
