McLean poses a threat to most posts in the paint. Her size, tenacity, power and rebounding ability allow her a ton of success. The players going up against Daniella are in for a tough matchup. McLean came into this update making a large impact; the lead big was inserted into the top 10. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["301095"],"_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-686d149390622"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='301095' first='Brooke' last='Golden'] (2026) | 6'2 SF | MCW Starz </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brooke soared up the charts from the last update. The 6'2 wing is currently ranked the #13 player in the class and #2 at her position. Golden brings a plethora of positive attributes to the table each game. However, the production she provides with her combination of size, length and shooting ability make her a prominent prospect within the class. The MCW Starz wing has an easily translatable game to the next level. Brooke checks so many of the boxes off. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["496178"],"_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-686d14939066e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='496178' first='Presley' last='Foster'] (2026) | 5'9 SG | Bay State Jags </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A great shooter off the catch or the bounce with rhythm, one that understands when to defer to get a better-quality look as she relocates. Presley is also quite adept at attacking closeouts. The tempo of the game doesn't matter for a player like Foster either. She thrives in many scenarios, making her very useful. Her understanding of the game and her timely ability to finish plays must not be overlooked. Foster requires serious attention from the defense. This is a player that raises her level of play in critical moment.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1264248"],"_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-686d1493906b5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1264248' first='Angie' last='Tiredo'] (2026) | CG | Boston Showstoppers</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Darrow is coming back loaded.
