3 on 3 “Show Stoppers” from Freshman Showcase

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I overemphasize how this stuff works, yet for some reason, it doesn't register with many, and it's sad, as many are embarking on a journey that they believe has a pot of gold at the end by listening to what they want to hear. The majority of the freshmen in attendance are already showing next-level potential, so one more time, play smart, play hard, and <strong>FIGURE IT OUT</strong> yourself, trust me, that will make you better</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":[1229716],"_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-68c878f89605b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnson is<strong> "long and athletic," </strong>and guess what impressed me off the top, her diving on the floor for loose balls, in<strong> THREE ON THREE</strong>, <strong>#THROWBACK</strong>. Her <strong>"on the ball" </strong>pressure was smothering as she picked some pockets, she played the passing lane and saw the floor, plus her first step to attack and score, nice body control on her finishes, were also solid</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["879664"],"_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-68c878f8960ce"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Batac was one of the best players I knew nothing about at the event, both classes included, and her "#EnergizerBunny mindset gave me a boost because she brought heat on both ends. She's a #sizedontmatter guard who finishes acrobatically off the dribble; body control played a part in that. She saw the floor while being defended, and her defense created havoc. She also created her shot and dropped the jumper</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1303017"],"_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-68c878f89611e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brown is a "long and athletic" guard, that works too, and seeing her handle the ball under pressure was nice. She used the behind-the-back and change of pace to get the defender off balance, yet the pull-up jumper created some problems. She also showed she could catch and shoot, she did a good job defending "on the ball" and she played the passing lane</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1314197"],"_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-68c878f896166"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Williams was another "never takes a play off," and the intensity she brought on both ends had her jersey wet, from just the 3 on 3. Her "on the ball" pressure and quick hands got her some steals, and she also played the passing lane. She not only created her shot, but she understands how to create contact, and at this stage, that's huge, so was her "catch and shoot"</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["974872"],"_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-68c878f8961de"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rivera grabbed my attention in probably the 4th grade, and time has flown, so did she with the ball as she blew defenders with ease and stayed under control to attack and score or dish. She made tough passes look easy, she dropped the jumper, and her "on the ball" pressure looked good, and one more time, #sizedontmatter when you can play</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
