She hustles hard for loose balls, attacks the glass hard for boards, and even can play a variety of positions for her team. Brooke has amazing size standing at 6'1” and knows how to utilize it against smaller opponents. She thrives when playing from the high post and knows how to set solid screens to help her teammates get open. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["928174"],"_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-67997266b94a8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Na is an excellent guard who has solid speed on the court. She can knock down shots from 3-point range and does so effectively off or on ball. She plays with great hustle, going 100% and is able to play quick on both ends with good agility to defend taller opponents. She has been steadily getting better and will only keep improving. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["751228"],"_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-67997266b94f0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rendall is a bigger guard/wing who has shown a tremendous amount of growth this season. She has a quick release when letting it fly and easily gets her feet set. Her long arms and hustle helps her on the defensive end where she can get involved in the passing lanes. She continues to get better and will only keep showing improvement when playing for FBC during AAU time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1153959"],"_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-67997266b9535"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Raelyn showed last year she has the skill needed to be a big time role playing guard for Kentridge. She already has a varsity of ways to get open on her defenders, having the ability to handle the ball well and play off ball smoothly too. She has shown some ability to score inside and out as she can shoot threes off the catch or take the ball strong to the hoop. She played a big role last year on Kentridge averaging about 7.7 ppg and with a bigger role this season has thrived in a big way. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
