She's crafty with the ball yet also explosive off the dribble and her acrobatic finishes place her in the "highlight waiting to happen" category. Her pull-up jumper, court vision, and defense have also gotten even better </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["911143"],"_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-67deb7c4df0d9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#67 (Up From #70)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Singleton is an athletic guard who brings heat on both ends yet her "poise under pressure" stood out for her high school team this season as I caught them both LIVE and LIVESTREAM. She attacks the basket from, well anywhere and contact is irrelevant as she finishes with ease yet her seeing the floor in the set as well as in transition has improved, and so has her "stop and pop" jumper</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["944711"],"_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-67deb7c4df144"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>#70 (Up from #76)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hodges showed me "on the court" progression at the Sandra Meadows Classic, one of my must-stops in my December Holiday Tournament journey <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/01/2027-guards-who-blew-me-away-sandrameadowsclassic/">see evaluation here </a></em></strong>but her intensity on both ends of the floor during the playoffs was different and I'm seeing her continue to rise in the rankings.

Yes, she defends inside the paint but her lateral movement has gotten better, and so has her rebounding and court vision </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
