She finished stronger after contact around the basket, showed she could score off the dribble as well as facing the rim, and her interior defense also looked good</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1216225"],"_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-68ad87de63894"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Szczechowiak was one of the <strong>NEW FACES</strong> I caught back in March at the <strong>#SimmieColsonClassic</strong> <span style="margin: 0px;padding: 0px"><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/03/2029-super-watch-the-bigs-simmiecolsonclassic/" target="_blank"><em><strong>(see evaluation here)</strong></em></a><em><strong>,</strong></em> and I haven't</span> seen her since then. I mentioned in the article that her mom and my daughter played overseas together in Poland, so hearing about how her mom was inside the paint is showing with Emma's "on the court" progression. Physicality is not bothering her, giving or taking, her "hands and footwork' to score looked good, but so did her timing to block shots. Her defense was solid, and she hit the boards on both ends</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1308481"],"_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-68ad87de638e7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Williams gave me a good first look, and her "hands and footwork" immediately grabbed my attention. She understands how to use her frame on both ends of the court, and she also rebounded on both ends, but her strength was nice as she finished powerfully around the basket after contact. Her defense was solid; she even played the passing lane, and her court vision was another plus</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1308482"],"_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-68ad87de63935"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jameson also showed a nice skillset, and one more time, "hands and footwork" will always grab my attention. She was another player who used her frame nicely on both ends of the court; her rebounding on both ends was solid, so was her interior defense, but she also showed she could step outside the paint and guard her man as well. Her deceptive first step was nice, as she got the defender off balance to attack the basket and score</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
