War Games: 2027s

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Insider Exposure hosted their War Games and Summer Slam events last week.  I was able to catch some of the action with teams competing for their last travel tournament of the season.  We've already talked about some of the rising seniors and the new names that I learned from the event.  Let's take a look at some of the 2027s that stood out to me.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

constantly moving on the court.  She crashed boards on fast breaks being ready to score off the offensive rebound.  She moved well getting the open look to put up her shot, and her cuts were effective making sure she lost her defender.  She has a quick release on her shot being able to knock it down from deep in transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!--

with the ball handling it with speed, making adjustments to get to the right spot, and hitting her teammates with the perfect pass.  She hustles back on defense being ready to block shots and contest some fast breaks making it difficult for her opponents to score in transition.  She can strip the ball from guards trying to get past her.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

point of her team's offense with her flashing in the paint and even getting the ball around the perimeter to go to work.  She knew how to push her defenders down the lane opening up a shot for her teammate.  She showed off her range running a play well to get to the opening around the perimeter and knock it down.  She even had some nice power dribbles on the block to get into position and score.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

from the free throw line, and she executed plays well coming off of screens to catch the pass around the perimeter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
