She's a natural scorer who can knock down the deep ball with accuracy and knows how to get to her spots where she is most effective. Piper is a skilled passer, has a nice float game, finishes well at the rim, and brings energy on the defensive end. She's the kind of player every coach wants on the floor; dependable, skilled, and plays with purpose.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Stats:</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Game 1: 13 points</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Game 2: 10 points</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Game 3: 11 points</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Game 4: 15 points</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["743648"],"_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-682cda83d298e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I rave a lot about Adri's athleticism, and it's hard not to when you watch her play. She could easily make a case as the most athletic player in the 2027 class. Adri consistently blew by defenders and showcased a smooth stop-and-pop mid-range game. Her step-back is MEAN, and she used it effectively to create separation off the dribble. She was locked in from three, finished strong at the rim, and showed of her hops with some ferocious blocks on the defensive end. The growth in her game is clear, and just a reminder that it's a marathon, not a sprint, and Adri is on the right path.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["902346"],"_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-682cda83d2ac6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I really liked what I saw from Jooniper. She boxed out and made sure to put a body on someone every time a shot went up. She fought through screens, drove hard to the basket, showed her off her range from three and did a great job contesting shots with a hand in the shooter's face. She made really good passes out of the post, and proved to be a versatile defender capable of guarding multiple positions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["636721"],"_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-682cda83d29fc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brynn was BALLIN at The Classic! Whether it was catch-and-shoot threes, dropping dimes, creating her own shot off the dribble, or making hustle plays she did it all. Brynn went off for a whopping 46 points in Game 2 against Cincy Swish and was a marksman from the outside connecting on 8 triples! Very impressed with her overall performance and her growth as player was evident.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Stats:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>119 Total points</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>25 Made Three's</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1248675"],"_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-682cda83d2a62"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shayna shines on the defensive with her high motor and energy! She slides her feet well, keeps ball handlers in front, and uses active hands to force turnovers. Shayna has blazing speed in the open floor, and always has her head up in transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
