She is a dependable scorer and a formidable presence in every game because of her strength and perseverance, which also enables her to finish via contact close to the basket! It is really difficult to stop her when she is driving into open lanes while performing her hesitation and go to the rim. She makes effective seals, gets in front of her opponent in the paint, and scores through contact with her powerful body. Making her debut at #92.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["319378"],"_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-67aa2aad1e189"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sydney is a very active player with strong ball grips and the ability to distribute the ball effectively with both hands up and down the floor. She puts herself in a position where she can deliver good results for her team. Has a high basketball IQ and is proficient at the point guard position. When she goes up to the rim to score, she is not afraid of contact. Incredibly long and athletic, has the potential to become a fantastic multi-position player at the next level. She comes in at number 96 in the rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1131523"],"_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-67aa2aad1e1d4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A small forward who can do it all, she's so strong with the ball and always has her body ready to shoot. Has a quick shot release which makes it hard for her defenders to stop her shot, when she starts knocking them down its hard to stop her. Nice pump fake to get her opponent off their feet and then she goes to the rim, can score on either side of the rim. She will be entering the watchlist for the updated rankings!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1162245"],"_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-67aa2aad1e217"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Also coming onto the watchlist, is a very quick and intelligent player. This girl can handle the rock well, doesn't have much length to her but that doesn't stop her from getting to the rim to score or getting in the paint to rebound the ball. She has excellent court vision and can get through the gaps of the defense with her quick movements. She can attack and kick the ball out for an open shot and get it inside to the post players. Great at protecting the ball at all costs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1120702"],"_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-67aa2aad1e259"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">She's very strong with and without the ball and does a great job at defending her personal space. Jade is a powerful player that can rebound and has several useful tools at her disposal to help her side win. Able to score near the rim and blast down the floor, demonstrates patience with the ball and she attacks the gaps, splits her defenders and scores at the rim. With her long arms she's deadly on the boards. Also making her way onto the watchlist. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1120706"],"_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-67aa2aad1e29a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">When it comes to her skill set, she has that on both ends of the court. The way she handles the ball, runs the offense with patience, and her shot selection was very smart. Incredibly active on the boards and rebounds the ball, most of the time for second chance points after a missed shot. With her length and speed, she runs in transition and keeps the floor wide and makes smart decisions with the ball. Last but not least, Brown will be coming onto the watchlist. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
