<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Just a couple of more stories to recap some of the talented players I got to see this weekend at the PGH Victory Region Kickoff event in Chicago.

Was really impressed with her work ethic and her ability to play at both ends of the floor. She's got good size and length. Pretty good fundamentally sound kid with the ability to score at the rim with a defender in her face, can read the play in advance and make things happen. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1216344"],"_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-67f2c546ba5c9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Taylor has a good perimeter shot from behind the arc, a quick shooter who can shoot well off the pass.

She did a good job defending the inbound with her length. Also can be an effective defender, able to come up with deflections. Ashley also has good court vision.&nbsp;Another one who can use the summer to prepare herself for her freshman season. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1225106"],"_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-67f2c6b58ab31"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Smooth shooter as she hung out around the perimeter most of the game that I saw. Knocked down a tray, has a nice follow-through on her shot. Athletic, just needs to gain some more experience to strengthen her skill set for the next level of basketball.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1223198"],"_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-67f2c6b58ab95"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Good range, not afraid to take the perimeter shot from behind the arc. Also, she showed me the ability to get downhill and weave her way through the defenders to finish at the room. She had good body control when she got inside the paint. On the other side of the ball, I thought she talked pretty well on defense and she was effective.&nbsp;<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1224675"],"_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-67f2c6b58abe0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">She has good size to her frame where she can play physical under the boards. On the defensive end, she came up with a nice block and she just needs to develop more of a physical presence on the board on a consistent basis. Hopefully she gets in the gym. This summer works on footwork and finishing at the rim, it will really strengthen her overall game!&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
