Knocked down the outside shot from two feet beyond the 3-point line proving she can play the 2 position as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Good rebounding guard that grabs the board and starts her own break with eyes up the floor. 2028 to watch this season as her scoring will be needed for the Lady Patriots</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1054461"],"_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-68cb94940cffc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A combo guard that has a tough mid-range game. Long guard that played taller than 5'7. Meaning she was involved inside the pain area on both ends of the floor. Impressive is the mid-range jumper off the dribble when driving from wing to paint. Good short corner shooter as well. Tough finisher on the drive that does not mind taking on the contact. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Showed a nice double cross over move from the right wing to the logo then crossing over the help defender to finish back on the right side </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["935136"],"_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-68cb94940d042"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Post player that showed consistent play all day in 3 on 3 as well as 5 on 5. Solid post moves with up/under on the block getting the defense in the air. Impressive was the bumps she used to get the defender back on the heels so she could score with that over the shoulder move.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On defense Kinzie has a long wingspan and is a rim protector. Great timing on the jump and arms away from the body avoiding the foul. Lateral movement forced the defense to go around setting up the block. Kinzie and teammate Hall give the Lady Huskies great size that can defend and on play on the outside</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["894837"],"_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-68cb94940d089"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Strong power forward that has great sizer and good body control on the blocks.

Good mid-range shooter that gives you the option for some high low action.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tough defender that anchor downs the middle allowing guards to pressure beyond the 3-point line knowing Jazlynn is in the paint. Looking forward to following this 2027 as Lady Hornets look to return to State and push for the Gold Ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["882117"],"_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-68cb94940d0d0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Outstanding athlete that has a high level protype guard size. 6'1 that can handle the ball very comfortably never seemed rattled with pressure. Good vision as if she is reading the situation before it happens. Strong finishes at the basket with a sidestep and extending with her length at the bucket. The shooting ability from the 3-point line demands defense respect leading many defenders on an island.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Not many times on a team can you make the statement that your point guard could lead your team in blocks shots but Mika that could be the case.
