She also shows some promising mobility, which should lead to her making plays in transition and attacking the basket from just outside the paint. She profiles as a true double-double threat down the line who should also become a solid rim defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["970541"],"_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-679d08e93a508"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Swobody is another Lake Stevens freshman with exciting length. She has proven to be a versatile defender who can swallow up ballhandlers on the perimeter and has the look of a future star defensively with her length and activity. She has a lot more in the tank offensively once her handle gets a little stronger, as she's already showcased the fire and aggressiveness to go at defenses.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["985230"],"_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-679d08e93a54f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lake Washington continues to produce talent and add depth to their squad with every incoming class, and they've got a few freshmen in this class that are showing some promising futures. Kott is a wing who has the ability to play inside and out, mostly staying along the perimeter with her 3-point shooting and quick decisions, but she's a slippery rebounder who does a great job seeing the ball off the rim and chasing down extra possessions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["985968"],"_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-679d08e93a616"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stowe is an impactful post for Mercer Island who has exceptional size and strength that has been a true asset down low this season. She's averaging 6.2 ppg and 6.5 rpg (1st on the team) and has some real bruising capabilities. She does a great job attacking rebounds, boxing out on defense, she gets big when cutting off drives as the help defender and makes those skip and dump off passes difficult. Her finishing will need some work but she's already producing at a level that suggests she'll be a consistent double-double threat for years to come.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
