She scores off the dribble, she's "long and athletic," which is the base, yet she also BATTLES inside the paint to score around the basket, putbacks included, yes, she rebounds on both ends </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1222346"],"_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-67ee73835078d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">King continues to show me her versatility, and that, along with her being "long and athletic," speaks volumes about her outside. Coming from out of nowhere to rebound as well as block shots will always grab my attention yet seeing her go "coast to coast" to score or dish gave me a new look. She scored inside and outside the paint and played strong defense </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

Hands and footwork, the drop step, lateral movement on defense, versatility scoring, running the floor, rebounding on both ends, intensity, I'm trying to give you a checklist of intangibles to go along with being at or above "the magic number" that attracts next level coaches and the more you bring to the table, the higher the level of attraction. Although many try to discredit the father of a 35-year-old WNBA player, I don't pull punches, I give you the real, so keep bringing IT
