She has remarkable handles and quickness, allowing her to get past defenders and create scoring opportunities for herself and her teammates off the dribble. Lexie also brings strong leadership qualities, she communicates effectively and helps keep her team stay organized 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":["743647"],"_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-6875bc80f3572"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Aliyah showed great hustle and resilience, after turning the ball over, she quickly got back on defense and blocked the shot, refusing to give up on the play. She saw the floor well, consistently looked to make the extra pass, and took advantage of scoring opportunities when they were there. Aliyah thrived in an up-tempo style, doing a great job of reading the defense and making smart decisions on whether to dish it off or finish the play herself.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["861623"],"_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-6875bc80f35b9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Every time I watch Caitlin compete, she finds a way to make an impact on both ends of the floor. She uses active hands on defense to get deflections and generate steals, and she's always alert in passing lanes. She showed her range from deep and made good passes ahead in transition, that led to an easy scoring opportunity for her teammate.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["743650"],"_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-6875bc80f35fb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Asia played stifling on-ball defense, making it difficult for opposing ball handlers to get going. She displayed a quick first step and tremendous blow-by ability, finishing well at the rim. She made crisp on target passes, setting up her teammates and doing a fantastic job pushing the ball in transition. Asia also displayed a high basketball IQ, catching the defense off guard and creating contact on drives to get to the free-throw line.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1179158"],"_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-6875bc80f363b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gabby is a speedy guard who brings relentless energy on the defensive end. She can defend the full length of the court with great on-ball pressure, using her lateral quickness to keep opponents in front of her. Gabby even showed the ability to elevate for rebounds, and once she secured the ball, she immediately went the other way with it, keeping her head up for teammates running the floor.
