She sees the floor well and can stay calm under pressure. She is able to set her teammates up to score and facilitates the ball well. Her greatest strength is being able to score in high pressure moments. As she grows and develops she will continue to be a force to be reckon with. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1255332"],"_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-695b363f99a74"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brooklyn is young but has NO fear. This kid plays every game like its her last, she leaves everything on the court. She can shoot it beyond the arch with accuracy and get get down hill when needed. Brooklyn is every coaches dream, she can be a role player when needed or knock down high pressure shots when her team needs them. You ask and she will deliver. Every college coach should be looking at this kid. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["852321"],"_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-695b40060a9ce"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jaiyana is a lengthy guard that can create her own shot on the court. She can score not only from beyond the arch but in the paint as well. Her confidence screams leader on and off the court. One thing is sure about Jaiyana, she will go and get you a bucket when needed. She will continue to grow and develop and become a lethal guard on both sides of the court. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["754856"],"_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-695b40060aa26"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jayla is the definition of a Hustle player. I can not express enough how much fun it is to watch this kid play. Every single possession she is playing with full effort. Her hustle is unmatched not only in her class but in all of Arizona. Her ability to create the shots she wants makes her an elite guard. Getting the AND-1 and the friendly roll every time. Her athleticism makes up for her lack of size in the paint and match that with her speed…it's over for any match up. A true eye catching guard.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["807119"],"_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-695b40060aa78"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Not enough time or words to describe how good this kid is. TJ is a 6 foot lefty guard that leads the floor with a sense of calmness uncommon for her age. She has a solid mid range game but its her passing ability and knack for finding her teammates in their "spots" that makes it fun to watch her. Her speed and length helps her push the ball in transition and get to the basket if needed. This kid deserves the hype and I am excited to watch her grow this year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["836788"],"_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-695b40060aac9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Skylie is a guard with energy that is never ending. She is a player that impacts the game on both sides of the court. She has great game IQ and stays level headed in big impact moments and her passing ability comes with ease. Skylie's speed and range make her an elite guard but her ability to lead her team with confidence and composure is something that sets her apart from the rest. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

There are guards...and then there are guards who draw everyone's attention. After watching these players below its clear that they have the talent and everyone's gaze. If they don't they should. I myself enjoyed watching all of these players and some may surprise you but some are already household names.
