Greenlee is a big-time scorer who can rain 3's and has nice dribble pull-up game.

She is very agile and athletic for her size and she runs the floor hard. Justice knows clog the paint on defense and how to get tall to protect the rim and avoid foul trouble. She is so strong and physical that it is difficult to gain position against her in the post. Justice has soft hands, scores well at the rim and I like the way she outmuscles and rips down rebounds. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1139663"],"_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-6786404923e24"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Harper has produced all season for the Wolfe County Lady Wolves.

Harper is averaging 6 points and 2 rebounds a game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
