Explosive Guards From Houston Christian Camp

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Several guards were cooking off the dribble, and when you have the ability to blow by defenders, that's part of the recipe for explosiveness, here ya go</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["878613"],"_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-689b745b4b93f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnson is one of those players who sold me the first time I saw her because she was fearless and played under control while playing up, so when I say I don't need a blueprint, I just know, so seeing her explode past defenders at the camp was nice. Her "on the ball" pressure was solid, she saw the floor in transition as we as in the set, and she dropped jumpers. She also made it to the finals in the X layups against her [program_tooltip program_id='712630' first='Lady' last='Thunder'] teammate</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["939061"],"_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-689b745b4b99d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hill is strong and her first step is powerful, yet she can go full speed in the set as well as open court and turn on the turbo in the blink of an eye, so her body control attacking the basket after contact is one thing, yet her acrobatic finishes keep me smiling. She has good court vision, a nice pull-up jumper, and she was also the teammate from [program_tooltip program_id='712630' first='Lady' last='Thunder'] who made it to the finals in the X layup competition </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1302388"],"_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-689b745b4b9e7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Okogwu is "long and athletic" which is the base, gotta be repetitive nowadays, but her ability to play multiple positions effectively. She took the defender with ease off the dribble to score in the skills, showing nice body control after contact, but her defense, "on the ball" shined both in the set as well as in the open court. She hit the boards on both ends and made good decisions, handling the ball</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1302399"],"_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-689b745b4ba2f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lind took me back to the <strong>PGH Sophomore ID Camp</strong> last season, where she stood out off the top in the 3 on 3 drills, <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/09/3-on-3-off-the-dribble-pghsophomoreidtx/">see evaluation here</a></em></strong> and the more I see her, the more I know she'll be on that next rankings update, but on Sunday, she left defenders cemented as she scored off the dribble.

Her court vision across the board looks good, she can drop the jumper as well as finish off the dribble yet her intense pressure "on the ball" baseline to baseline as well as her quick hands to pick pockets all looked good</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
