Plays strong in the post, strong handling the ball and bringing it down at times, and shows the athleticism to be a factor in the open court and on the glass. Does a great job of turning the corner on her drives, and should only continue to get better shooting and handling the rock.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["985968"],"_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-68f94c36067b1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">She's a tall, skilled post who averaged 6.6 points and 6.4 rebounds per game last winter, and has only gotten better scoring both by the basket and further out with her jumper. She uses good footwork down low, and also does the little things like consistently boxout, attack rebounds at their highest point, and is strong playing through contact near the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["970541"],"_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-68f94c360681a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Swobody is a long wing who continued to show improvements throughout last season and could find a bigger role this season. She's an active defender, and when we saw her at the Prep Girls Hoops Expo, she was yelling out directions defensively, calling screens, talking in help, and showing some initiative to lead on that end. She's also a threat to get downhill with her length and footwork in traffic.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["979373"],"_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-68f94c3606875"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another promising Lake Stevens sophomore, Gasaway has legit size and has really showcased her versatility as a frontcourt player who can go up and rip down boards, but also has the fluidity paired with post moves to beat her defender off the dribble and get to the bucket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
