She's active on the glass, getting second-chance points and keeping the ball in play. Defensively, she uses her reach to deflect passes and disrupt plays. Combine that with her improving outside shot, and Rowan has all the tools to become a threat.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1246167"],"_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-68f29391702c0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nyree is a knockdown shooter when spotted up but she's also capable of putting the ball on the floor. Her defense stands out, as she plays with relentless effort and focus. In transition, she's a major threat who knows how to finish or find teammates for easy looks. With her ability to impact the game on both ends, Nyree continues to trend upward as one of the more complete players in this group.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1243998"],"_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-68f2939170332"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Harmony is a versatile player who can play the guard spot or on the wing. She gets downhill in transition and uses her length to create problems defensively. In the half court she finds ways to score within the offense while keeping her team involved. Her combination of athleticism, effort, and two-way impact makes her a valuable piece to any lineup.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1258276"],"_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-68f29391703a7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Grace plays the game with energy and a team-first mindset. Defensively, she competes and doesn't shy away from anything. Offensively, she's capable of scoring when needed but also knows how to make plays. Grace's unselfishness and ability to affect the game without forcing things make her a player to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
