She's "long and athletic," which is the base; she scored off the dribble and finished strongly after contact, but she also scored inside the paint, giving me the "hands and footwork" I enjoy seeing. She rebounded on both ends and did a good job defensively, and although she's just shy of "the magic number" she plays as if she's taller</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1276302"],"_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-688189e3beeb1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thornton showed out the previous week at the <strong>#Super64,</strong> so her encore performance was just as good. Her "on the ball" pressure baseline to baseline immediately grabbed my attention, but she's an athletic guard who uses her athleticism on both ends. Her first step is strong, so are her finishes off the dribble, yet her court vision and pull-up jumper need to be mentioned as well</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1276304"],"_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-688189e3beefc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ward made my Tip Sheet at this same event a couple of seasons ago,<strong> <em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2023/08/neville-jones-invitational-new-faces-2026-27/">see evaluation here,</a></em></strong> and I love going back and seeing what I wrote earlier, not just to prove I'm a REAL EVALUATOR, okay, that is the reason. Her defense has gotten even better as she was picking pockets and playing the passing lane and her court vision in transition has also shot up. Her finishes after contact were nice, so was her pull-up jumper </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
