The defense jumps off the page when discussing Williams. The effort given to affect ballhandlers, rush the passing lane and even come up with blocks as a guard is so significant. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["392966"],"_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-68b3a3da07756"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='392966' first='Bridget' last='Hill'] (2027) | 5'4 PG | Bishop Guertin </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bridget has great command of the offense plus she has a real charm to her game. It doesn't take much watching to see she has a knack for playmaking either. This is a notable '27 prospect in NH.

Her 2-way efforts go a long way. The post touches are punishing and the lockdown defense can be extremely damaging. These distinguishing qualities make her a top 10 player at the position. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1132823"],"_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-68b3a3da077d5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1132823' first='Layla' last='Rivera'] (2027) | 5'6 CG | Brockton </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rivera is going to come into the season as one Brockton's key factors. Her capacity to make tough shots feels special at times. She gets hot quickly and when the jump shot is falling, the defense can be in for a long day. As Rivera has another year under her belt, she'll be able to come in more mature which can bring her game to another level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
