Adyra is always shot ready + does an incredible job finding her balance and feet off a step back. Strong with the basketball, finishes creatively and through contact at the rim. Rebounding Guard; doesn't take plays off! High Academic Div 1 Prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["574414"],"_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-683f37cece2ab"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Karisma is one of the premier guards making waves out of the Socal Area. Karisma is already having a super productive summer picking up multiple D1 offers with Team Norcal. Karisma is a dynamic guard with the ability to knock down from extended range with limited space. Athletic rebounder with the ability to push and create in transition. Karisma can and will take a game over offensively (multiple 30+ pt games last season) ; constantly on go looking to get downhill. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["574425"],"_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-683f37cece32d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sadie made on of the biggest jumps in the rankings this update, moving all the way into the top 15 overall, and the #2 ranked PG in 2026. Sadie is the premier PG out of the Central Valley and continues to impress and improve every time we see her play! Knockdown shooter that maintains her efficiency by simply not taking bad shots. Keeps the ball on a string; creates for others and consistently controls the pace. Don't let her size fool you, she consistently outplays bigger guards with her skillset and IQ. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["843675"],"_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-683f37cece3a9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Safiyah is a quick crafty guard that creates for herself and others with ease. Quick first step + solid high arcing floater in traffic. Attacks angles well; takes care of the ball while maintaining vision to see teammates. Efficient shooter from behind the arc (30+% over 100 shot volume) off the bounce and kickout, will pull if defender goes under screen. High ceiling. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["644219"],"_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-683f77423ef9b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shifty guard alert. Super crafty guard with a tight handle, and incredible change of pace always looking to get downhill and create. Changes speed and direction well, has multiple quick moves to get downhill, impressive passer in traffic. Confident and comfortable shooter from the 3. Very hard to keep in front, will need to continue to find ways to creatively create space to get her shot off. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
