She can play on the perimeter too, being able to stretch the floor for her squad and knock down deep shots. She is excellent with her left hand, being able to finish through contact and get down-hill smoothly. Defensively she can move her feet quickly and be able to get her hands in the passing lanes with her long length.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["759438"],"_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-6801921fa82ce"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bailey is a pure point guard who handles the ball at an elite level and can really facilitate the offense to a high level. She can knock down shots with ease too, being able to play off ball just as effectively. She shows off her high basketball IQ every time she steps onto the court by delivering beautiful passes and doing the little things to elevate her game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
