Sister Acts Go Off : Peggy Whitley Classic

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I'm criss-crossing a bit as I still have a few more articles from the Conroe Classic, yet the performances from a couple of sets of sisters still have my head ringing </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["839232"],"_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-691b8c448d251"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Golden has always been able to drop the long ball, and watching her "on the court" progression from middle school until now has been a treat. She creates her shot so well under pressure, but she also does a good job creating spacing to get it off. Her "catch and shoot" from deep helped get her team going on Friday, as well as her setting teammates up for good looks. Her defense was solid both in the set as well as in the full-court </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1376879"],"_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-691b8c448d2bc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Golden has always been scrappy on both ends and just found ways to make things happen that could change the momentum, but one of the other things I caught early was her poise under pressure, be it handling the ball or hitting a clutch shot. She always did a good job of getting hers "in the flow but seeing her set the defender up using a deceptive first step to attack and score to go along with dropping the mid to long-range was nice</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["899469"],"_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-691b8c448d308"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rodriguez has always been tough as nails, and her blue-collar mentality at a young age spoke volumes as she was willing to dive on the floor for loose balls, as well as take a charge correctly. Fast forward from "back in the day" to now, those things remain the same, yet her ability to set the defender up and get her shot off has taken her game to another level, especially when she can drop the long-ball under pressure with a hand in her face </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["893103"],"_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-691b8c448d34f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rodriguez attacks the basket smoothly, and her sleekness to maneuver in traffic with the ball and change direction in one motion is a problem for defenders. Her crossover has gotten better, so has her ability to "thread the needle" in traffic and get her teammates good looks, but watching her drop the mid to long-range while being defended looked good, so did her defens,e including playing the passing lane</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
