<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>USE CODE "tinnon30" FOR 30% OFF THE FIRST PURCHASE OF ANY SUBSCRIPTION</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Though we are just a little under two months out, I am excited that the season is getting closer and closer. No, I am not trying to wish the fall season away. I love football, but gosh, thinking about basketball just gives me chills. What excites me even more when thinking about the game is the potential kids have. I get excited about the unknown/ development of a player. You never know when the maturation of a prospect will kick in. When it does, anything is possible.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There are tons of girls who will be popping up on the radar this upcoming season. Some may have already arrived, while others will be new names that you will see consistently. Either way, these kids will be contributors for their ballclubs and will be girls we will keep tabs on for years to come. Check out some names that have piqued my interest as of late.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1239760"],"_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-68bb375f937bb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Scrappy guard who competes on both ends of the floor. She can facilitate an offense, knock down 3s, but she really excels when she utilizes her speed to get to the rim. Another attribute that stands out is her ability to defend. She is going to be active with her hands and feet as she causes chaos. Tough ball player who is going to contribute this upcoming season.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["822223"],"_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-68bb375f93817"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A Swiss army knife of a player who can do all things. A quiet assassin who can play with or without the ball in her hands. She has a deadly eye for putting the ball through the net, and she can do that in multiple ways. From dialing it up from 3 to getting to the rim, she uses that lefty stroke to add up points in the scoring column. A solid ballplayer who is a threat on both ends of the floor. Look for her to have a breakthrough year where she contributes in multiple ways.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1155098"],"_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-68bb375f93865"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A solid prospect who is about to have a great year. This kid is that “Rosie the Riveter” type of player who just competes. She's tough around the painted area and exploits the mid-range. Her big thing is her ability to guard and rebound the basketball. She had a great summer season and will look to carry that momentum into the school year.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["822294"],"_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-68bb375f938af"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Big wing that is consistent in multiple phases of the game. She is going to give you points from various spots on the floor, but she, too, will step it up on the defensive end, making it difficult for opponents to operate. She can block shots, get steals/ deflections, and become another body that rebounds the basketball. Her size alone poses as a threat, which deters offenses from choosing an alternate route. Her game has grown over the summer, and she will look to be an even more important piece to the Lady Lions ball club this upcoming season.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1239757"],"_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-68bb375f938f9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">&nbsp;This shifty guard will be looking to make a name for herself this upcoming season. She's a bucket getter, and she will do so from the arc as well as slicing through defenses. She can thread the needle with her passes, play solid on the defensive end. I love her mental makeup as she is willing to go toe-to-toe with any opponent. Prepare to get her best effort as she is going to find ways to impact the game. Solid kid who has a bright future.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
