She has a good three-point shot, but can also score in and around the paint. One of the ways she does this is by cutting. If she sees an open spot, she is good at getting to it and hitting the shot if she is given the opportunity.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">On defense, Nicholas is a good wing defender and is capable of guarding bigs in some instances.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["902062"],"_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-6903b1180c9aa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='902062' first='Lydia' last='Phillips'] for Clarkrange high school showed last year that she is a great defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Phillips is always causing chaos on the defensive end. She has a physical style of play in guarding her opponents. This play of hers often leads to the other team turning over the ball. This was seen in a game against Eagleville High School last year. In the game, Phillips had seven steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">On the offensive end, Phillips is a solid playmaker, transition scorer, and three-point shooter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1122624"],"_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-6903b1180c9f3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">At 5'10", Jayzmyne Dunn, out of Trosdale County High School, has a dynamic game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dunn has showcased this dynamic game over the summer. For one, she can shoot threes at the big position. Against Stars Basketball Club Nashville, she hit two threes with her lefty jumper. Dunn can also score inside the paint well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">On defense, Dunn has above-average shot blocking.

She can make threes from everywhere on the floor. In a game last year, she set the record for most threes made in a game in her school's history, making 10.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Garrison is also a great on-ball defender and is good at finding a way to get steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1241820"],"_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-6903b1180ca7a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1241820' first='Emma' last='Kate O'Neill'] brings an array of skills at the center position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Her rebounding is at another level. O'Neill rebounds well on both offense and defense and can put together big numbers in the rebounding category. She can also put up big numbers on offense, with her versatile offensive game. She can score through traffic inside the paint and can knock down threes as a center.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On defense, she can guard wings and is a great post defender against bigs. She showed off all these skills in a game against Jo Byrns High School. In the game, she had 16 points, 12 rebounds, four steals, and three blocks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It will be fun to see what impressive performances O'Neill can put together in her junior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
