Quickly attacks the offensive glass, or moves to openings while off the ball with the mindset to get buckets. Good lateral movement, combined with strength, makes her a tough presence around the rim. Appears to play taller than her listed height, thanks to her athleticism and overall tenacity. Very productive spring, to set the stage for a big final two years of high school ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["773868"],"_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-682ffaa6482a0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><a href="https://x.com/lawrence_addi/status/1924445220680171760">Social Media Highlights</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Good mix of playing smooth, then breaking out the suddenness on drives to get to the rim. Can either quickly stop and hit in the 6-8 foot range, or make a more violent move to elevate or use her quickness to get to the rim. Healthy amount of dimes in the video too, showing her PG qualities. From highlight reel quality finds in transition. To making the reads in the halfcourt to keep the offense flowing. Might be one of the more undervalued lead guards in 2026, because she checks a lot of boxes of physical and skill traits.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1249909"],"_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-682ffaa648257"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><a href="https://x.com/DaMariaDaniels_/status/1924631502417232017">Social Media Highlights</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Quick first step, repeatably capable of getting paint touches. Especially going left, where she did a good job of finishing in the clips posted. Nice defensive interlude, that shows her putting the same quickness and tenacity to use as a ballhawking defender on ball handlers. Can slide her feet and uses her wingspan to make life very uncomfortable for the opposition. Athletic 918 guard, that will need to keep closer tabs on going forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1244098"],"_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-682ffaa6482e5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/21275769/681fc25efa59d43877dcf81e">Hudl Highlights</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Skilled scorer, who comes from a high school program that has won a lot of games recently. Good form, with a compact release and overall balance as a catch and shoot specialist from deep. But also capable of making the defense pay when they run her off the line. Plays with good patience for her youth on drives, not bothered by help defense. Instead uses good footwork and playing strong to step through, and find openings at the rim. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["412536"],"_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-682ffaa648329"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><a href="https://x.com/jazsodowsky/status/1925741561989484734">Social Media Highlights</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Scoring guard with good height and wingspan, which helps her on both ends of the floor. Patient on drives, capable of finishing with either hands. Nifty footwork and ball fakes can help her get the room to finish. Based on the plays she's making on defense and as a rebounder, she stays very engaged. Leading to "right place, right time" longer rebounds, deflections and steals. The video does a good job of showcasing her impact on both ends of the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["574241"],"_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-682ffaa64836a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://x.com/ClaireHooker13/status/1925738397030662389">Social Media Highlights</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>3's and Defense are always recruitable traits. Especially when they come with positional size. Which at 5 foot 11, the Locust Grove Lady Pirate has in spades. Quick release knock downs. And the quickness to close out and swat shots on the perimeter. Or help out in the paint. Northeastern State is a recent offer, which shouldn't be her last as she works to level up her game with the national schedule of the Banshees. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
