2027 Sophomores Sparkle-Pro Skills Houston Tryout

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Upside, on the court progression, comprehension all play a part in what I do, and having been doing this for around a SCORE, I know you have to do more than score for next level opportunities, so here we go</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1276876"],"_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-696f9546a6b3e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bell showed her athleticism off the top during the skills, and watching her show me that she could create her shot as well as catch and shoot was nice, but it translated over to the 5 on 5. She scored off the dribble, her <strong>"change of pace" </strong>looked good, as did her court vision, both in the set as well as in transition. She also did a good job defensively in the set, as well as full court</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1671237"],"_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-696f9546a6bb6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mrema also used her athleticism well on both ends, and reading screens, along with making offensive players pick up their dribble, was also nice. She created her shot under pressure, gave me the pull-up as well as the <strong>"catch and shoot"</strong> but seeing her consistently get to her spot and drop the midrange was solid</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["882388"],"_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-696f9546a6c06"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Carmona was yet another athletic guard who brought heat on both ends of the court, and her pestiness, as well as creating havoc defensively, helped create turnovers. Her deceptive first step looked good as it got the defender off balance for her to attack the rim, and she showed she could knock down the jumper from outside </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1671238"],"_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-696f9546a6c52"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Beechum grabbed my attention at last season's <strong>Pro Skills Houston tryouts, </strong>yet opened my <span style="margin: 0px;padding: 0px">eyes wider at the<strong> McDonald's Texas Invitational</strong> in <strong>November </strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/mariella-beechum/" target="_blank"><em><strong>(see evaluations her</strong></em></a></span><strong><em>e)</em></strong>. However, she showed that she could be positioning herself into Stock Riser mode, and here's why. She stands around <strong>"the magic number" </strong>and <span style="margin: 0px;padding: 0px">is<strong> "long and athletic," </strong>but the magic really started when she went <strong>AFTA</strong> and </span>everything off the rim. She scored off the dribble, around the basket, and the midrange looked good</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["874351"],"_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-696f9546a6c9d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bouie had me ready to drop my coveted #D1Lock on her on my second sighting, <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/04/babies-help-launch-pghdynastyregionkickoff/">see evaluation here</a>,</em></strong> and one more time, I am a <strong>REAL EVALUATOR,</strong> not a guesser. She made several jumps over the next few events. I caught her in <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/carinne-bouie/">see evalautions here </a></em></strong>yet she's on the verge of something big because she's becoming a <strong>"nightmare to defend"</strong> and watching her score off the dribble, at times finishing acrobatically after contact, as well as showing an improved "stoop and pop" jumper, big club season coming </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
