Day 1 Out Of State Standouts-Neville Jones Invitational

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's always nice catching out-of-state talent because, as I have been stressing for over 20 years, #talentiseverywhere if you know what you're looking at</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["788466"],"_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-68bf3f54d1c32"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nelson is one of the top PGs in her class from Arizona, and her handling the ball under pressure, as well as controlling the tempo and making the right decisions immediately, stood out. She's a "long and athletic" guard who saw the floor well across the board. She scored off the dribble and played tough defense </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1197249"],"_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-68bf3f54d1c9b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Haley is the #3-ranked SF from Arizona, and watching her operate inside the paint to score was nice, as she gave me some nice moves to finish around the basket. She also scored on poutbacks, yes, she rebounded on both ends and ran the floor on both, but her defense, both in and outside the paint, was good, she played the passing lane and handled the ball afterward, plus she scored off the dribble</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["489562"],"_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-68bf3f54d1ce9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Martinez is the #8 shooting guard from Louisiana, plus she's "long and athletic," which is also the base. She did a good job mixing it up on the offensive end as her deceptive first step got the defender off balance, so she could score off the dribble, nice body control after contact. She also did a good job creating her shot and dropping the jumper while being defended </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["648227"],"_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-68bf3f54d1d33"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Herrera is ranked #46 in New Mexico and is also capable of playing multiple positions, so her understanding of positioning helped her outrebound taller players inside the paint. She also has a nice first step to get past the defender and score off the dribble, but her jumper was slick; she even gave me the step back and dropped it, but her "catch and shoot" with a hand in her face was equally impressive</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1060894"],"_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-68bf3f54d1d7c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bean is ranked the #10 SG in Arkansas, and watching her create her shot while being pressured and elevate and drop with a hand in her face was nice. She came off the screen and dropped it. She showed the "stop and pop" in transition, plus she also showed the "catch and shoot," yet she mixed it up to attack and score, or dish. Court vision across the board was solid, and she did a good job defensively </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
