She is able to get downhill with one or two moves and reach the rim before the help defense arrives. Abigael is especially effective in the half-court setting, where her ability to read the defense allows her to consistently make sound basketball decisions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1261621"],"_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-694f51b573d05"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Natalee, the younger sister of Abigael off the court, plays with the poise and awareness of an upperclassman once the game starts. She is creative with the ball in the open court, able to improvise and create opportunities for both herself and her teammates. In the half-court setting, she moves well without the ball, consistently finding gaps in the defense for easy scoring chances. Defensively, her speed and agility allow her to apply strong on-ball pressure.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
