Elevating Their Games pt 2- Houston Summer Slam

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Who else elevated their games? Well, here are a few more</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["842809"],"_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-68667ebdec422"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jackson has been a joy for me to watch over the years as she has consistently raised her own bar on what she wants to be on the court. The work ethic and athleticism have always been there, yet watching her set the defender up to score off the dribble or drop the midrange has been nice. Yeah, she can hit the long ball, defend, and rebound, but she still has upside </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1222346"],"_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-68667ebdec4a2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">King has come out of nowhere to create some issues on the court, including showing more aggressiveness this season, to "come out of nowhere" to rebound on both ends, as well as block shots. Here's the deal: she's "long and athletic" and stands at "the magic number" yet the magic starts when she maneuvers inside the paint to score, a turnaround jumper included. Her midrange and ball handling have also improved</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["898290"],"_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-68667ebdec50b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Winn loves dissecting her game when we chat, and let me say this: she is one of the most underrated open-court players in the state. Yeah, she's also "long and athletic" and a couple of inches shy of "the magic number" yet she pays taller than 6'0 and her jersey is usually soaking wet after games, #THROWBACK, because she SIMply won't be outworked, either you understand what you're looking at or you don't. She elevates around the rim to score or rebound, she defends inside and outside the paint, but her court vision has gotten better</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["939061"],"_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-68667ebdec571"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hill, as in "climbing up the HILL" just keeps showing me something new, and she doesn't realize how explosive she is off the dribbl,e but does it instinctively to attack and give me acrobatic finishes after contact, yet her stop and pop jumper in transition is also a problem for defenders. She applies "on the ball" heat, but her court vision, including leading her passes to teammates to score, has shot up</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1098862"],"_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-68667ebdec5d6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Yarborough has had an exciting season, and it seems like each time I've caught her, from high school, to tryouts to club season, she has added more and become more confident. She's another "long and athletic" player just shy of "the magic number" but seeing her not only create her shot but elevate and drop the jumper looks good. She attacks strongly off the dribble, her "on the ball" defense has gotten better, and she plays the passing lane</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1135867"],"_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-68667ebdec637"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lacy has some serious upside, and after leaving a lasting first impression at her club team's tryouts, she has shown me a variety of new things. Yeah, she's "long and athletic" and just shy of 6'0, the magic number, but she plays taller and is strong inside the paint. She BATTLES for rebounds and scores after contact, but she also gave me the midrange as well as off the dribble to score. Her timing to block shots also looked good</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1233923"],"_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-68667ebdec683"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Campbell has been one of my big surprises this season, and her game is "mmm mmm good" but let me start with, you guessed it, she's a "long and athletic" guard, which is still the base. She does a good job mixing it up offensively as her deceptive first step gets her by defenders to score off the dribble, but her midrange is nice, especially when she can also "catch and shoot". She also did a good job rebounding and defending, plus her court vision was nice</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["596081"],"_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-68667ebdec6cd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ajose has become even more of a "nightmare to defend" because her range is unlimited, and she has shown me that in numerous events this club season. Her pull-up jumper in the set, stop and pop from deep in transition, or SIMply attacking the basket strongly to score or dish. Her court vision across the board looks good, so does her defense </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
