Her body control was nice; she even outrebounded taller players </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["841665"],"_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-69584a603a724"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thornton gave me an eyeful off the top because her energy level falls into that <strong>"never takes a play off" </strong>group, and seeing her go<strong> AFTA </strong>everything off the rim as well as come from out of nowhere to block shots dropped the mic. Yeah, she's<strong> "long and athletic," </strong>which will always be the base, and she stands above <strong>"the magic number"</strong> but she scored off the dribble, explosive first step, played solid defense both inside and outside the paint, good upside </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
