She is an aggressive, defensive-minded PG who will make a name for herself as a relentless agitator on defense and a downhill offensive threat. Her understanding of the game has grown significantly, especially after competing on the EYBL Circuit, which has sharpened her pace and ability to control the tempo. Over the past year, her ball handling and shooting have also seen noticeable improvement. With the Ruston Program focusing on key areas of development, Green is poised to take the reins and lead the team from the point guard position this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1236794"],"_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-68e7dec222eb4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lee demonstrated her abilities throughout last season, earning a starting spot and making the most of her opportunities. She is a dependable wing who excels at doing the small things that contribute to team success. Lee can knock down open shots, stretch the floor with her three-point shooting, and rebounds and finishes at a high level. Although she doesn't spend much time with the ball in her hands, she makes quick, impactful decisions that positively influence winning. With her length and all the tools for next-level play, Lee is poised to be a catalyst for Cedar Creek's championship run this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"A'leiya Brewer","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12122","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Northwood High School (Shreveport)","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68e7dec222fc6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brewer is a sleeper in the 2027 class, thanks to her size, skill, athleticism, and overall physical tools that position her as an impact player. Known around the north as "Bucket," she has been dedicated to improving her game, spending the summer on a focused developmental journey. Brewer checks all the boxes. She's a versatile wing with a strong frame, elite post instincts, and a reliable three-point stroke. This season, she will be the go-to player for Northwood as they build on last year's success. Coaches looking for a dynamic wing with a strong presence, exceptional instincts, and a proven three-point shot should definitely stop by Northwood and check out “Bucket.”</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1227517"],"_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-68e7dec223055"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Reynolds is an energetic player who brings intensity to every game, making each matchup highly competitive. She is a rebounding and rim-running guard with a downhill basketball mentality. She is always moving toward the ball, which makes her effective on both sides of the court. Offensively, this movement makes her a threat to score at the rim, and on defense, it helps her be a pest, creating turnovers and additional offensive opportunities. Carroll has the talent to make significant strides this season, and Reynolds will be a key part of their growth.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["943362"],"_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-68e7dec2230ea"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">West is a versatile hybrid player who combines size with shooting ability, allowing her to play around the goal while also stretching the floor with her perimeter shot. Her strong frame enhances her rebounding on both ends of the court, and she embraces the physicality of the game, making her a threat both offensively and defensively. Her move to West Monroe adds valuable options to the Rebels' roster, transforming them into a matchup nightmare for many opponents. West is a key piece of a growing West Monroe puzzle, and her wide skill set will be on full display in the upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stay tuned for more 2027 player evaluations.
