<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hungry and eager always gets me, so I saw several from the 2031 who are on the verge, here ya go</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1311741"],"_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-68b95a9a6e954"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Leija falls into that #sizedontmatter group, remember it doesn't matter when you can play, and watching her dive on the floor for loose balls off the top spoke volumes as I drop the #THROWBACK hashtag. She created her shot under pressure, showed the catch and shoot, as well as good court vision. She scored off the dribble, went behind her back nicely in traffic to finish, and played solid defense</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1311648"],"_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-68b95a9a6e9af"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Abraham went through the drills with ease, yet in the 5 on 5, she took it to another level. She saw the floor as good as anyone on Sunday, yet her poise under pressure also stood out, no checklist needed, I just know. Her "on the ball" pressure" looked good as she used her athleticism on both ends, and seeing her attack and score was another plus. Things kept adding as she dropped the jumper, gave me the step back, and played the passing lane as she too was another #sizedontmatter </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["961163"],"_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-68b95a9a6e9f6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nava has already shown me a variety of pluses as she's made a couple of my Tip Sheets in the past,<strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/alina-nava/"> see evaluations here</a>,</em></strong> so her "on the court progression" as well as upside has me smiling because she also falls into that #sizedontmatter group, yet her being heady and reading the floor on both ends looked good. How about her timing to block shots, as well as apply heat defensively to help create turnovers, yet she saw the floor and scored off the dribble</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1104454"],"_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-68b95a9a6ea36"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Alexander also showed me she's been working and adding to her game since the last time I saw her <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/01/2031-babies-shine-mlkshowcase/">see evaluation here,</a></em></strong> and her being a "long and athletic" guard continues to create problems on both ends, one more time, that is the base. Her "on the ball" pressure and quick hands got her some steals yet picking pockets wasn't all as she played the passing lane. Her court vision looked good, so did her deceptive first step to score off the dribble</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1311659"],"_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-68b95a9a6ea75"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jiminez gave me a good "first look" and guess what, she too was a #sizedontmatter guard that applied hat on both ends. Her defensive pressure during the skills, either 1 on 1 or 2 on 2 stayed the same yet when the 5 on 5 went live, so did she applying "on the ball" pressure baseline to baseline. Her decesion making was solid, so was her court vision across the board and she scored </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
