Her game is built like a guard, but she has the size and strength to dominate on the low block when needed. She can step outside with no problem and makes for a dangerous partner in the pick and roll. If the right coaches are paying attention, she could finish her AAU season with even more offers to add to her list.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["598837"],"_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-680ec93215d4c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Baptist will find her way onto a college program strictly based on her hustle and energy, and the added bonus is that she can score when you need her to. She is an absolute force on the court, impacting the game with her toughness, effort, and willingness to do the dirty work. On top of that, she seems very coachable, always locked in and willing to make the extra play. Players like this are rare, and there will always be a spot for someone with her mindset and motor at the next level.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["672830"],"_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-680ec93215d9a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Megan missed out on a chunk of her junior season, but she is back and competing for her last AAU run. Prior to the injury, Megan was in a lane of her own when it came to athletic forwards. She has the agility, the grit, and the IQ that still separates her from the rest, but once her confidence fully kicks back in on the athleticism side, she is a top 15 player in this class. The offers have been there, and I am sure they will continue to roll in.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["624979"],"_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-680ec93215de3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>You cannot teach height, and you cannot teach length, but you can be taught how to use it the right way, and the lessons Armante is picking up line up with that.

She's the kind of player every program could benefit from. She's skilled, unselfish, and locked in on making WINNING plays. She's always moving, whether it's creating for others, making the extra pass, or just bringing good energy to the court. The awareness and feel for the game she has separates her.
