It looks like this move will pay off because now at the two guard she is able to show her scoring ability that will help her team. A very smart player that can get the job done, you saw the flashes of her scoring potential versus Gainesville as her team won that game in a rout!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["376338"],"_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-6963cad3b12cb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Aliza is looking more dynamic guard who has made the move back to public school. She is capable of playing both guard spots at a high level as her overall scoring ability has gotten better. She is now more of a scoring point guard than shooting guard; she eclipsed he 1000 point mark this season. A crafty guard who creates scoring opportunities for herself and is capable of setting up her teammates. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["603549"],"_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-6963cad3b132e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Good size for a shooting guard with combo guard ability. Ava is a good athlete that can defend multiple positions on the defensive end. Ava does a great job of attacking the rim on her way to the rim. Has a good first step towards the basket an keeps defenders on her hip as she attacks cup. Good player with a lot of upside that will a player that will even get better in college.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["735644"],"_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-6963cad3b1383"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Made the late jump from Deep Run high school to S3 Academy. A sneaky good athlete that can turn defense into offense in a blink of an eye and can score. Plays at a good pace into transition fast breaks. Seems to always make the right pass and is never sped up when the ball is in her hands and has a consistent three-point jump shot. Had a really good showing at the Virginia Mid Atlantic showcase versus a good [program_tooltip program_id='1623113' first='Virginia' last='Academy'] team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["816705"],"_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-6963cad3b1400"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Great size and moves well, good defender with good hands. She utilizes her size on the defensive end to alter shots and protect the basket. She is a player who can impact the game on both sides of the floor. Has landed at a good spot at the next level for college because she still has great upside!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
