<p>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</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Cole will be COLD because she's not only "long and athletic" and probably above "the magic number" that INTENSITY I mentioned above kicks in as she went AFTA everything off the rim. She scored around the basket and defended inside and outside the paint, solid upside</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Hackman also has the college-ready frame along with a nice drop step, plus her hands and footwork were also nice yet her power inside the paint as she scored after contact with ease. She also rebounded, got the outlet going, and played defense</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Whitaker uses her body well on both ends of the court, and observing her rebound strongly with authority was nice, but she gave me the "hands and footwork" to score around the basket, plus her defense was solid </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Greenwalt isn't at "the magic number," yet she plays as if she's above it. Intensity is a word I used in the opening paragraph, so watching her go AFTA everything off the rim as well as on the floor gets the #THROWBACK hashtag, plus she defends "on the ball" as well as inside the paint </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Page continues to turn corners, and when you factor in that she can play multiple positions at her size, well, that's a plus. 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>

<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>
