<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1244607' first='Jenny' last='Bitounou'] is a towering junior center at the high school level standing at 6'5". And she does not shy away from using her height. She is a great defender down low, and is an above average shot blocker. Her long arms also allows her to step out and guard on the wing, despite being a center. She is able to cover a large amount of ground just by holding out her arms out.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>On offense, Bitounou is great at generating second-chance opportunities and then scoring off of these offensive rebounds on put-backs. She is also great at running the floor and is a good finisher in transition.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='822391' first='Cassidy' last='Reed'] showed the impact she can make a great impact in her sophomore season. First off she has plus speed. She flys up and down the court both with the ball, and without. And when she is on the attack with the dribble she is controlled. Reed is able to weave past defenders and is good at locating her open teammates. She also is great wing defender. She is hard to get past and is a great with her hands often picking off passes or stripping a defender when they are handling the ball. Reed showed her defensive skills against DeKalb County last year where she got two steals in a game.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1239817' first='Anniya' last='Bailey'] could be a big riser this coming school season, given the game she has. Bailey of all things is an elite shooter. She is really good at moving off the ball and creating herself space for an open shot. Bailey displayed her shooting capabilities last school season in a game against Southwind High School where she made four shots from distance. She can hit from all spots on the floor, and will be a constant floor spacer for her team whenever she is on the court.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Bailey also provides solid rebounding at the guard position and is a talented and willing passer.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1241375' first='Binetou' last='Diop'] is due for a breakout in her junior season. She showed last season that she is capable of dominating at the high school level. Diop is a tall and lanky forward who uses her length well. She has quickness to go with her frame, which helps make her an amazing wing defender. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">On offense, she has shown she can finish with both hands and is great at carving lanes to attack the basket and score. Diop also displays great athleticism, which also helps her be an above-average rebounder.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='821999' first='Alyssa' last='White'] has proven that she is a legit player. She has made an all-district team in her respective conference before, and was more than deserving of the award. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">White's game is highlighted by a strong ability to grab rebounds and a great post-up offensive game. White, every time she is on the court, is working to get herself in an ideal position to rebound. In the district tournament from last school season, she did this well on both offense and defense. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">On offense, she favors her right side when posting up. She is a reliable scorer from the right block and can finish through heavy contests from there.</p>
