Dave Yates Chicagoland Showcase: Upperclassmen You Need To Watch

<!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Dave Yates Chicagoland Showcase is back, and it remains one of the most coveted tournaments in Illinois. PGH always circles this event because the competition is real, the environment is unmatched, and the staff's hospitality has always made us feel welcomed! Below are a couple of upperclassmen (uncommitted) that I believe coaches should watch if they're in the building or on stream. </h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["469632"],"_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-6930d6b408fb9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>There aren't a lot of guards who play like Frempong, and not too many of them can get to the rim at will like she can.

Taji's skillset as a point forward is sharp and aggressive. She can hurt you from all over the court, and she knows when to play small and when to use her frame to get where she needs to. She has gotten better each year.. and remains a key focal and dominant piece for McAuley. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["728004"],"_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-6930d6b409128"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Towne has put herself in the category as one of the most aggressive combo players in the state. She'll be key to how successful Nazareth is this season. She's a player who can score the ball by her own creation or off the catch and within the system. There will be games where she has to be the best player on the floor, and then games where she will be a swing piece based on her ability to shoot and close out games.</em> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["796983"],"_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-6930d6b4091c6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Currey has one of the smoothest jumpers in the state and has the length and skill set that allows her to be a point forward for her program if needed. From a defensive standpoint, she can guard 2-4 and cause problems for the whole game plan. I truly think she's one of those players who can be better at the next level.. the versatility will translate.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["875119"],"_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-6930d6b409264"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Lily has all the tools of a strong, versatile point forward type of player. She has the aggression on both ends as well, which, in my opinion, separates her from some of the other players at her position. She can guard 2-4... and she gives no easy buckets to the centers. Big fan of how she plays. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
