<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These five hoopers from the Deep South put in work at the Southeast Top 100 Camp on Saturday! I was in the building at Suwanee Sports Academy with my notebook in hand and my head on a swivel, scouting the action and leaving very impressed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["381325"],"_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-68c7492b74eb0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Showed a strong balance of scoring/passing. Strong baseline kicks. She seized opportunities and took advantage of lags in coverage. Her 3-point shot clicked as the day went on as did her confidence. I loved the pace at which she played; not too sped up, but also purposeful.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1227826"],"_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-68c7492b74f3e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Light on her feet defensively. Excellent reaction time to jump in the passing lanes and keep the opponent on her toes. She did a great job picking off passes for steals to ignite the break. A one-woman show in transition; quick bee-line to the basket. Reliable 3-point shooter who can certainly splash it once she gets going.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["892118"],"_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-68c7492b74fac"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Workhorse mentality and an impressive motor. From the first whistle to the last, her energy level was high! She rolled off screens really well; fluid and crisp. Totally unafraid to take the defender off the dribble and get to the basket at will. Very smooth with her delivery; confident slasher. She buried shots from the perimeter even with the defense tightened up and a hand in her face.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["943322"],"_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-68c7492b75018"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Never stationary! Always moving and looking to impact the game in any way she can. She sought out opportunities to get high quality looks at the basket. Good understanding of spacing and court awareness. Lots of grit and hustle. I loved how locked in she was, even during timeouts. Coachable and always looking to take direction and do her best to execute plays.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["912201"],"_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-68c74a9fab9d8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Madyson show a lot of potential going up against high-level and nationally ranked talent from across the country. Flashes of greatness at the combo role. Tight handles; low turnover rate. She also played off the ball well. As her development continues, she can certainly be an impact player shooting it from 15-18 feet.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

These five hoopers from the Deep South put in work at the Southeast Top 100 Camp on Saturday! I was in the building at Suwanee Sports Academy with my notebook in hand and my head on a swivel, scouting the action and leaving very impressed.
