<!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Entering year two is always a significant point. Some players take on larger roles, while others get slightly more minutes than before.

Zambrovits has a solid level of just pure skill, and she utilizes it at every level on the court. The biggest thing that stands out is her ability to catch and shoot all in one motion without needing to bring the ball past her sternum... that's elite level shooting and a nod to the work that's being put in. She's also a hell of a playmaker. A ton of potential. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["885956"],"_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-68b32247db9da"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Ellis should be stepping into a bigger role this upcoming season, and one thing we can say about Whitney Young is that they are always competitive. The mismatch that Ellis will bring will keep that tradition going. I'm sure there's work being put in, and she's expanded her skillset; it'll be on full display this year.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["881341"],"_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-68b32247dba7b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Schilb has gotten better this summer, which will be a nightmare for those in her conference, simply cause she was already dominant last season. She has the guard skills and has the frame to be a problem in the paint as well. She is a 1st team all state type of talent, and I don't think she's even near her what peak could be. Major upside. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["881796"],"_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-68b32247dbb1e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Lane Tech will not be overlooked this year, and Scarlett could find herself playing heavy varsity minutes, and if she does, she will be the perfect piece to add energy and pressure. She operates off the mindset of "I'll just work harder than you." She doesn't seem to have an ego.. more like "I want to contribute to the win, whether it's scoring or out hustling everyone." Players like this are game changers and can be the pushing point for a winning season. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["974037"],"_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-68b32247dbbc0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Freundt is talented, and her skillset is so pure and effortless that it seems like she's moving in slow motion, but she doesn't allow the defense to decide what she wants to do. There's a patience and a confidence to her game that is loud, but quiet. A perfect blend of poise and aggression. One of my favorite players to watch play. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
