Southern Assault 2027 Spotlight

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Checking in on 2027 Oklahoma program, with a watch back of Southern Assaults' 2027 group win over 4MT 16U from last month's Heart of Texas showcase.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1252308"],"_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-6838db926e0d8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Quick lead guard, who runs the show for Assault. Solid handle, with some shiftiness to her game. Allows her to get downhill, where she hit pull ups in 8-10 foot range. Or lofted "giant killing" shots over the arms of defenders. Despite being one of the smallest players on the court, she even popped up with offensive rebounds and second chance points. Young is a guard with speed, to keep an eye one.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1252309"],"_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-6838db926e133"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Good Swiss Army Knife player, who contributed in the game watched with steals and making the right passes. Had one stretch in the first half where her positioning and effort off the ball lead to 3 steals in about 90 seconds. Which she quickly converted the turnovers into transition points. First caught the eye as a passer when she drove, and made a nifty pitch out to an open shooter. Kept racking up assists and generally making the right passes throughout the game watched. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1252320"],"_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-6838db926e17d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A sparkplug guard, who's playing up an age group. Made her impact in contest watched in the second half. Her energy was big in helping Assault close out the victory. There were a couple three pointers in the stretch, but it was often her energy leading to her scoring around the rim. At one point she even got own her miss, then finished through contact for an "And 1". The effort continued on defense with steals into scores. Including a nifty reverse layup. Promising signs for the Class of 2028 youngster.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["923711"],"_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-6838db926e1c4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lambert is having a good spring, but was quieter in the contest watched. Did hit a HIGH arcing three pointer early on. And while at times she played off the ball next to Young, she was also capable of handling the rock when Young was subbed out. Checking out highlights from a recent tournament, does reaffirm that Lambert is a quality shooter. With a good all around game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["750448"],"_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-6838db926e218"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hogan is a catch and shooter from deep, who can also leverage her strength into physical drives at the rim. Liked her mindset following a three, where she immediately picked up on defense and forced a steal. A homeschool prospect who can handle the rock, or fill it up from deep.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["891583"],"_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-6838db926e25f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McLaughlin caught the eye in the contest watched for her effort and attention to detail on the defensive end. Good on the ball defense, moving her feet. While also rotating and generally staying locked in on while off the ball. Checking recently highlights on Twitter, show similar defensive principles. Complete with helpside blocks and verticality without fouling. While also chipping in from deep and even some off the dribble scoring. Appears to have a well rounded game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
