Summertime Standout Guards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Insider Exposure hosted their War Games and Summer Slam events last week making it the last tournament of the travel season for most teams.&nbsp; Let's dive into some of the standout guards that I was able to see at the events.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

cleaning up the glass crashing the boards and being ready to attack scoring off the offensive rebound.  She used her quickness and effective cuts to get open scoring around the perimeter off the pass.  She was getting lost by her defenders sneaking to the block calling for the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

range shooting the ball from around the perimeter.  She plays with a high motor the entire time she's on the court moving around with intent looking for the gaps getting the pass and putting up her shot.  Her defense is tough, too, being able to keep up with anyone preventing them from getting by her to score some points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!--

shot from deep doing the work to find the opening without the ball and scoring off the pass.  Her ability to see the floor was evident with her cuts to get the pass.  She even put on her coaching cap at halftime showing her teammates some ways they can improve with the white board.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

well under pressure even when teams try to set up traps at half court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

handling the ball at the top of the key letting plays develop and finding her open teammates.  She moves well with and without the ball finding the openings to get a play going.  She can attack the basket or make the dish as defenders collapse around her.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
