Her speed and dominant left hand really gets her free a lot. Thompson has used simple moves to get by defenders and she has converted on her jumper. Thompson has looked good playing with her Westlake squad and she has also looked good playing with her [program_tooltip program_id='715969' first='Utah' last='Storm'] team as well. She is a game changer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["903560"],"_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-6813b0b317b40"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zwonitzer has a strong drive and she gets low and is able to turn teh corner on the defense. She can play through contact and finish. She has good vision and can get the ball across the floor on the money. She has been defending better. Zwonitzer has shown some signs of solid play with her AIM team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["925835"],"_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-6813b0b317b8a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mandel is a player that could have a big time impact on her team as they start playing this spring. She knows how to get others the ball and is always looking to make a pass. She has good court awarness and has made some elite passes. Mandel is tough and should be among some of those improving this offseason. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["805787"],"_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-6813b0b317bd0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lombardi has good size and that size and mobility is showing on defense as she is extending out in the perimeter to defend. She has a good feel for the game in the paint that leads to block shot attempts and her altering shots. On the other side of the ball she could be a deadly shooter, especially in the corners. She is having a good showing this spring with Hoops. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["789053"],"_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-6813b0b317c14"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stacia is a legit CG that has been able to do a little bit of everything this spring. She looks solid on the ball as a lead guard and she is shooting the ball well off the bounce. Peoples is also off the ball coming off of screens or creating action by movement. She is running with [program_tooltip program_id='1208940' first='Salt' last='Lake Lady Rebels'] and making some good reads at all three-levels of attack. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
