Yeah, she understood early she could give defenders fits yet what she has done is learned how to think the game to become a more complete player so accelerating in the open court as well as in the set to score is still there, so is her jumper with a hand in her face s<strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/karneshia-smith/">ee evaluations here </a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["926592"],"_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-695275559b604"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Warner grabbed m y attention at last seasons <strong>Neville Jones Invitational</strong> and solidified what I saw the the <strong>PGH Freshman Showcase <em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/isabella-warner/">see evaluations here </a></em></strong>so as she's turn ing into the <strong>Belton Bomber </strong>and averaging a tad over <strong>20 mpg</strong> I'm looking fore=ward to catching up with her in person as she's next up on the <strong>UPDATED PGH RANKINGS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
