Oh My Guards From Pro Skills Tryout pt 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I want to start by saying <strong>"I'm a simple guy" </strong>but that wouldn't be true and one thing I have never done is mislead anyone about talent because guess what, #talentiseverywhere. I love catching <strong>NEW FACES</strong> as well as<strong> "on the court"</strong> progression from players I already knew about and I'll probably cover another<strong> Pro Skills</strong> tryout down the road because with over 100 players, <strong>I DID NOT </strong>see a lot of everyone in the 2 hours but certain things just blew me away, here ya go</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["876713"],"_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-677fb63d0abec"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bonner was added to the <strong>PGH Rankings </strong>this season and appears to be heading upward in her career. She's an athletic guard who uses her athleticism on both ends, solid "on the ball" pressure, attacking the basket strongly, and finishing, body control was nice. I liked her court vision across the board, her "stop and pop" jumper 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":["876717"],"_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-677fb63d0ac49"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pino was one of many players who gave me something from another era that used to be prevalent which is why I use the<strong> #THROWBACK</strong> hashtag and her being <strong>"vocal on the court"</strong> made me smile. She's an athletic guard who plays solid defense, including reading the floor and playing the passing lane yet her slight HEZ was nice as she got the defender off balance to score off the dribble, solid body control after contact</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["874899"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-677fb63d0ace6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kent might not be related to Clark<span style="margin: 0px;padding: 0px">, but she showed some superpowers that fall into my&nbsp;<strong>#THROWBACK</strong>&nbsp;group by showing she could apply heat "on the ball" and</span> her timing to block shots was also nice. Here's the kicker, she not only created her shot, but she also <strong>FOLLOWED</strong> it and that is something I rarely see. She also did a good job using her athleticism to get by the defender to score off the dribble</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["892050"],"_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-677fb63d0ad30"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Green gave me a good first look, yeah she's an athletic guard who attacked the basket from multiple spots, with either hand but her finishing after the lick was nice. She also understands positioning, which helped her outrebounding taller players, but her court vision was also nice. How nice was it? How about threading the needle in transition with a bounce pass between two defenders</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1133513"],"_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-677fb63d0ad74"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ball gets the cover photo because she was hard to cover and yes, she's one of those <strong>#sizedontmatter </strong>players which is irrelevant because she can play. She's athletic, and her "on the ball" pressure immediately grabbed my attention but she found ways to keep it by playing the passing lane or picking pockets. Her first step was one of the best at the event, body control gave me acrobatic finishes yet her finger roll<strong> JUST DID IT</strong> for me </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
