She rebounds, handles the ball afterward and plays defense inside but her timing to block shots was solid, and so was her scoring off the dribble</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1217159"],"_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-67d969dd0d3c5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Appleton impressed me via video so watching her in person showed I hadn't seen a mirage. She's another "long and athletic" player, yep, it's still the base but she's also above "the magic number" so when you add she can drop the mid to long-range as well as attack the basket to score, her deceptive first step is nice, she creates problems for defenders. Her court vision needs to be mentioned, as well as her rebounding and defense, and guess what, I saw her in person at the Simmie Colson Classic </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1207802"],"_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-67d969dd0d408"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wise put on a show in the 2A-D2 State Championship game helping her team win their second consecutive state title<strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/03/2a-d2-showdown-ends-with-back-to-back-championships/"> see evaluation here</a></em></strong> She is another "long and athletic" player who stands above 6'0 yet her ability to find ways to put the ball into the basket was among the best in all divisions. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1217160"],"_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-67d969dd0d446"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thomas left a lasting first impression and I'm glad I didn't blink because I might have missed something. She's explosive with the ball, in the set as well as in trasition and her court vision from 20 feet on in was solid as she threaded the needle in traffic. She also scored off the dribble and finished acrobatically at times plus her defense was tough</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1217161"],"_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-67d969dd0d482"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Obenofunde does a good job of playing both the 2 and the 3 and not only can she score from outside, while being defended, she also attacks the basket strongly and finishes after contact. She defended both in and outside the paint, she rebounded, on both ends, and handled the ball afterward but she also saw the floor and mde good decisions </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
