The movement without the ball stood out the games I watched continuing to make things happen for her team.&nbsp; Showed the capabilities to knock down the 3-point shot by consistently making several.&nbsp; Good hands on the back cuts making herself available for the easy layups.&nbsp; Good enough handles to help break the pressure against a full court press.&nbsp; A 2027 that got varsity experience last season as a starter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Earned All Conference last season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["935139"],"_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-67fc89657b193"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A very up-tempo guard on both ends of the floor.&nbsp;

Hands, vision and great communicator are the things coaches are wanting in their point guards.&nbsp; Showed range by hitting the 3's but the mi-range pullups were great decisions as well.&nbsp; Quick lateral footwork on defense allowed her to pressure up in the front court without getting beat of the dribble.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["727813"],"_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-67fc89657b38a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brooklyn just has that smoothness about her game. One of those players that when ask how many you are like uh? It a layup here, 3 pointers there and couple of putbacks. Great size that played almost any position on the court. Does an excellent job of attacking the shoulder to turn and get to the rim. The range of the 3-point shot and ability to take the defender downhill made her a tough match up. On defense she played with a high IQ talking on ball screen coverages.&nbsp; A fun to watch just play the game. If you have not seen her check, it out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A 2028 that made several All-State honors</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["955556"],"_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-67fc89657b44d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A true point guard that handled the full court press with a change of direction on the long pass up the floor.&nbsp; Saturday game she scored double digits all off down hill drives.&nbsp; Attacked the paint making great decisions between the drop to the post or kick to the shooter.&nbsp; A point guard that does have range that created gaps by stretching the defense.&nbsp; Showed understanding of the game towards the end to know when to pull it out not forcing it with the lead late in the game.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I did watch her play on a 16u team and the pose she showed was not that of a 2028</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1222916"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1232572,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-67fc89657b50c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A 2029 that played up this weekend that had not issues handling the pressure defense.&nbsp; Use the crossover or hesi dribble to attack that corner to get down hill for the finishes.&nbsp; Excelled the five out offense attacking the gaps from the wings to either finish with a layup or the pull up jumper.&nbsp; A driver that understood the concept of driving through the contact drawing several fouls.&nbsp; Quick lateral defense made it tough for the opposing teams to run any offense.&nbsp; Great combo on the front of the press creating points of turnovers.&nbsp; A 2030 that will have an impact on her high school program next season</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
