These players have shown exceptional skill across multiple areas, making them some of the most dynamic guards in their class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["928137"],"_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-68e45ff47e307"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hansen is a creative, pacey, and hard-nosed guard who provides excellent playmaking and scoring for the Auburn Trojans. She reads the game at a high level and is a reliable playmaker and momentum swinger on both sides of the floor. What is really impressive is just how she sees the game and stays a step ahead of opposing defenses, and she's also shown the toughness to hit from tough angles while attacking the hoop. She picked up an offer from Eastern Washington this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["751208"],"_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-68e45ff47e368"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Boeck has been one of the key names in her class for the past two years now, and her ability to score the rock is a big reason why. She's a crafty guard who can separate with various moves, sharp handle, and balanced footwork, and on top of all of that, she's a potent shooter from different levels. She'll bear more responsibility this winter without Julia Dalan down low, and the back-to-back first team all-league player should make another big impression this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["751213"],"_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-68e45ff47e3b5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Harrison is a pretty versatile guard who plays with great awareness. She finished top five on her team in points, rebounds, assists, and steals last season, and has been showcasing the skill to make improvements in all those areas this winter. She's a smooth playmaker with an equally smooth shot, and after doubling her outputs in points, assists, steals, and nearly in rebounds from her freshman to sophomore years, it wouldn't be surprising to see her make another big leap forward this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1051361"],"_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-68e45ff47e3fd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Larry had a big season for Union last winter as their number two scorer and playmaker. She brings real toughness to the floor on both ends and has some excellent creativity and vision on the offensive end. She's a big threat to work off the dribble and get into the paint with great footwork and the strength to play through contact. Her balance and array of quick moves while working downhill make her a tough player to keep away from the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
