2027 Players Ready To Excel After Sandra Meadows Classic

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As this class is gearing up for their last club season, the "on the court" progression, coupled with the mindset of understanding how important this will be, had me smiling at what's coming </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["885450"],"_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-695d3a676d5ac"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cramer has been on a tear all season, dropping multiple threes in numerous games as well as showing she can play the<strong> 1 and 2 effectively, </strong>but let me add some <strong>intangibles</strong> into the equation. Her <strong>"poise under pressure"</strong> both wanting and delivering the shot in clutch situations, along with her ballhandling, stood out, yet setting her teammates up for good looks was also a plus, as was her defense </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["809946"],"_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-695d3a676d632"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Barrett is a<strong> "long and athletic" </strong>guard who can play multiple positions, and watching her use the<strong> "hands and footwork"</strong> to score inside the paint against taller players dropped the mic. Her<strong> "on the ball" </strong>pressure looked good baseline to baseline, so did her<strong> "stop and pop" </strong>jumper in transition, along with the midrange pull-up. She also scored off the dribble</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["992580"],"_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-695d3a676d693"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Howard has always been one of those <strong>"never takes a play off' </strong>type of player, and since she will not be outworked, watching her go <strong>AFTA</strong> the ball relentlessly off the rim as well as loose balls in the air or on the floor, you just can't teach. She defends inside and outside the paint, scored off the dribble as well as around the basket </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["880801"],"_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-695d3a676d706"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cortez has steadily improved each season to become a legitimate force inside the paint. Not only does she stand above <strong>"the magic number" her college-ready </strong>frame is doing some damage on both ends of the court. She's moving more fluidly on defense, especially with her lateral movement. Hands and footwork to score is a big yes, but her<strong> "court vision" </strong>is also a major plus</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["911143"],"_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-695d3a676d762"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Singleton has always done a good job setting the defender up to blow by them and score, but she has turned into one of those players I place in the <strong>"nightmare to defend"</strong> category, and here's why. Her pull-up jumper is smooth, but she keeps the defender guessing by using the slight<strong> HEZ</strong> to create spacing or just exploding past them. Body control on her finishes looked good, so did her<strong>"catch and shoot" </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1067190"],"_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-695d3a676d7c5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnson has that<strong> #sizedontmatter</strong> hashtag attached, yet it doesn't matter because she can give defenders fits. Her first step is a problem, and when you couple that off the dribble with her acrobatic finishes, yes, her body control is solid; well, that should tell you something. She can drop the jumper; her court vision is solid, yet her baseline-to-baseline pressure, as well as tough defense in the set, can create havoc</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
