Tuesday Night Playoffs: Round 1 Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Last night was trying to say the least to watch games online. Monday went so smoothly, other than announcers saying the wrong names yet I stress over and over about having non-erroneous rosters, especially now because you never who's watching and I've been saying this forever but whatever. That, buffering or the camera not working had me in a frantic yet a little <strong>HOPE</strong> at the buzzer made my night </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["510469"],"_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-67acf758cdd49"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Simpson is a special player with the ability and skillset to take over games offensively, either off the dribble or dropping the mid to long-range jumper. Her poise under pressure has always impressed me and her return to her squad after an injury gives them a different look because she makes those around her better</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["839900"],"_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-67acf758cddac"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Martin has not one note written by her name from last night because it's embedded in my head and let me say this, off the dribble, she's one of the best guards in her class to get by the defender and finish strongly, off balance and after contact. Her "on the ball" pressure as well as playing the passing lane created turnovers</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["475149"],"_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-67acf758cddf0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bruce was a force inside the paint while I was watching their game and with her battling for rebounds, on both ends and scoring on putbacks, at times with players hanging on her ain't nothing new to me. She also scored around the basket with the "hands and footwork" yet her short jumper, scoring off the dribble and defense need to be mentioned as well</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["764269"],"_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-67acf758cde2f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pringle sold me before her freshman season and let me start with her being "long and athletic" which will always be the base, but that isn't enough because she's ULTRA athletic. She can go for a steal and recover as well as anyone if she misses it yet playing the passing lane is special. She scored around the rim by elevating over defenders yet that same elevation got her some blocks but her defense inside the paint as well as baseline to baseline at times was smothering </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["307761"],"_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-67acf758cde6c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Edwards is one of the best clutch performers in Texas and I remember last season in the playoffs she banked in a 3 to win a game yet this time around, the bank was closed as she dropped it from the top of the key fading away for the win. She's powerful off the dribble and scores or dishes with ease plus her defense was solid </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
