Her explosive vertical leap allows her to consistently out-jump opposing players for rebounds, often securing possession even in crowded paint situations. Coupled with a relentless motor and an evident desire to compete, Phillips tirelessly pursues every missed shot, demonstrating a knack for being in the right place at the right time. This combination makes her a dominant force on the boards, significantly impacting her team's ability to control the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["387006"],"_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-680bcf3946e28"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">DYarri stepping onto the AAU court, immediately establishing herself as a force on the boards. In one game, perhaps a crucial matchup, multiple shots clank off the rim in quick succession. You see DYarri, with her sharp anticipation, already moving before the ball even hits the backboard. She boxes out her opponent with a strong, fundamental technique, creating a clear lane. Then, with a well-timed jump, she snatches the rebound cleanly, securing possession for her team and preventing a second chance for their rivals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["982930"],"_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-680bcf3946e94"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kelsie, showcasing excellent awareness, has already established solid position, using her body effectively to box out her opponent, denying them access to the prime rebounding area.
