She's&nbsp;stronger than she appears, has good floor vision. She can block and change shots since she is so long and quick at switching hands while the ball is in her hand. She can handle the ball&nbsp;in the paint and can score through multiple of defenders. Excellent footwork around the rim and a good wingspan. Claudia will be making her debut at number 74 in the rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1131517"],"_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-67aa143decb0d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Harrington is notorious for causing havoc on the court both ends to remind you; she makes plays happen on both ends of the court.&nbsp;She has excellent footwork and hands, is an aggressive rebounder, has strong fundamentals, and just understands how to put the basket in! Very high IQ for the game, she can get steals by her stellar defense then score on the other end. Knows how to create contact and get to the free-throw line. Making a debut at number 82!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1161558"],"_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-67aa143decb63"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Great at scoring from the perimeter, capable of making any shot outside or inside the paint. She shows&nbsp;the capacity to be a reliable contributor by playing the game with passion and intensity. She's a team player and gets her teammates involved, racking up the assists collum, she has a strong work ethic and can get after it defensively. In the updated rankings she will be sitting at number 87!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1162240"],"_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-67aa143decbb2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Making her debut at number 88, Peyton is capable of shooting lights out from behind the three-point line. She consistently demonstrated her ability to be a danger from three-point range by moving the ball well and relocating to shoot. She is a strong and aggressive&nbsp;guard who makes things happen on both ends of the floor. She does a good job at anticipating the next pass and communicating with her teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1131519"],"_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-67aa143decc52"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sophia can knock down the three ball fast or patiently. She has&nbsp;good size and length to her which allows her to rebound the ball and score in the paint. She can smash the boards and play well in the passing lanes thanks to her wingspan. If this girl keeps putting in the hard work, she will keep improving.&nbsp;While she makes her way onto the watchlist I see this young lady making big things happen this season!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1161560"],"_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-67aa143decca6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Banta's defense is fantastic! Her use of pressure on the ball demonstrates a great defensive player.&nbsp;She loves to run the floor and score in transition.&nbsp;She anticipates passes rather well! Makes wise decisions during transformation. She can cause errors and take the ball to the other end for two points. She can attack the rim to score or shoot the outside shot, she can score in a variety of ways. Also coming onto the watchlist!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
