<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I always say that the best way for me to evaluate a player truly is seeing them in person yet I'm not a novice so if I have to buckle down and dissect videos or watch games online, I will but I also love seeing what players do "away from the ball" because one more time, I am a REAL EVALUATOR, not to be confused with someone who claims to be something they aren't so here are some players jumping on board</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1148626"],"_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-67e1a097bf3a8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Esnard was EXCITING to watch online because she's heady yet also a fierce competitor. The multiple ways she could score are always a plus, as well as her ballhandling while being pressured. She also showed good court vision in the set as well as in transition plus her upside is high <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/01/fridays-top-5/">see evaluation here</a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1135864"],"_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-67e1a097bf41f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Trancucci got her first write-up when I was covering She Can't Hold Me <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/01/fridays-top-5/">see evaluation </a></em></strong>here and the more I saw her, the more that title seemed to fit.
