Her first step was a problem for defenders as she blew by them to score off the dribble, yet she also showed speed with the ball,<strong> SWB</strong>, in transition, while staying under control under pressure. She saw the floor across the board, dropped the pull-up jumper, and continued to dive for loose balls and apply "on the ball" heat </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["764239"],"_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-68ee909976f49"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Rose</strong> Gregory showed she could put the<strong> "petal"</strong> to the metal on both ends as she brought heat on both ends of the court. Yeah, she falls into that<strong> #sizedontmatter </strong>group, but she's also heady and made good decisions. She saw the floor in the set, as well as in transition. She used a deceptive first step to attack and finish, or dish, and her <strong>"on the ball"</strong> pressure was solid</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1326183"],"_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-68ee909976fb5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ledet did a good job in the<strong> 3-on-3</strong> by giving defenders the business as she created her shot to either attack or drop the jumper. She also used her athleticism by applying baseline-to-baseline pressure when the games started. Yeah, the jumper was still clicking. Her court vision and crossover looked good, but two things she deserved my <strong>#THROWBACK</strong> hashtag. She played the passing lane and was vocal on the court</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1277473"],"_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-68ee90997701f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Herrington is a <strong>"long and athletic"</strong> guard who not only plays under control, but also plays within herself. When you comprehend the simple things, like not forcing shots or passes, that's big, but seeing her score off the dribble as well as inside the paint over taller players was nice. She also created her shot to drop the jumper, and her<strong> "catch and shoot" </strong>was another plus </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["874886"],"_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-68ee909977097"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Salazar showed me that she's elevated her game over the club season,<strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2025/07/salty-and-spicy-from-houston-summer-slam-pt-1/"> see evaluation here</a>,</em></strong> and I mentioned her reminding me of that <strong>Energizer Bunny, </strong>and when you find players who fall into that "never takes a play off" category, well, that too is <strong>#THROWBACK</strong>. Her defensive pressure created not only havoc, but turnovers. She handled the ball and saw the floor under pressure, she scored off the dribble, and dropped it from outside. Oh yeah, her timing to block shots looked good also</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1098815"],"_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-68ee909977122"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pine had me on the edge of my seat in the<strong> 3 on 3</strong> because she's a shade under<strong> "the magic number"</strong> plus she's <strong>"long and athletic" </strong>which is the base. She shot it well from outside, scored off the dribble, and played the passing lane, but when the <strong>5-on-5</strong> began, she took it to another level. Her<strong> "on the ball" </strong>pressure got her some steals, so did playing the passing lane, but she got into the rhythm dropping the<strong> "catch and shoot"</strong> from deep, however, wherever and whenever she wanted. Her court vision across the board was another plus</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["906925"],"_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-68ee9099771ab"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lashley-Hill caught my eye a few years ago and was immediately added to the <strong>WL <a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/janeen-lashley-hill/"><em>s</em>ee evaluations here</a>,</strong> and although the first one isn't showing up, her <strong>"you won't outwork me" </strong>mindset set it off from me. She goes<strong> AFTA </strong>everything off the rim, her<strong> TIMING </strong>to block shots inside the paint was one of, if not the best there. She finished strong inside, after contact included, yet her <strong>"hands and footwork"</strong> to score in the<strong> 3 on 3</strong> gave a preview. She, too is <strong>"long and athletic" </strong>and also has <strong>UPS</strong>, so that's a plus. She scored off the dribble, dropped the short jumper, and saw the floor</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
