She has the shooting stroke of a full-time shooting guard! She can create her own shot with range out to the 3pt line, utilizing a lethal stepback anytime she chooses. <strong>Lucia</strong> makes her presence known on both ends. Prolific shot blocker with excellent timing. The ball handling and playmaking is impressive for her size and position. <strong>Lucia</strong> is relentless as a rebounder. When she gets the ball in the mid/high post, she can score 1v1 or draw the double team and kick it out to open shooters. She excels with the ball in her hands on the perimeter and in transition. <strong>Lucia</strong> <strong>Khamenia</strong> is a smooth, do-it-all forward with one of the highest ceilings in the freshman class!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"MaZiya Randolph","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12122","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Notre Dame (Sherman Oaks)","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69570fed870e4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. <strong>MaZiya</strong> is a walking double-double just like her father, NBA legend Zach Randolph. She is a dominant post presence inside with VERY impressive quickness and fluidity. Her 1st step makes her special in 1v1 situations. When she gets the ball inside, she puts the ball up so quickly that shot blockers have no chance to swat the shot. <strong>MaZiya</strong> can rebound and take the ball coast-to-coast. Uses her strength to gain leverage and positioning inside. Catches everything in the post. Finishes through contact against bigger defenders. <strong>MaZiya</strong> went for 30 points, 15 rebounds, and 6 steals earlier this year vs. Campbell Hall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Megan Quoch","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12122","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Flintridge Prep","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69570fed871e3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Megan</strong> does-it-all for Flintridge Prep: defends multiple positions, facilitates for others, scores inside and out, the list goes on. Her attention to detail is impressive. <strong>Megan </strong>displayed exceptional court awareness on both ends. She does the little things that impact winning. I regularly saw her boxing out on rebound opportunities. Elite outlet passer. <strong>Megan</strong> has the ability to play exclusively on the wing. She has a nifty spin move in her arsenal to go along with a soft touch inside. Can and will knock-it-down if left open on the perimeter.<strong> Megan</strong> also has a natural gift of finding and feeding open shooters. One of the top under-the-radar prospects in the junior class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1278415"],"_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-69570fed86df8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Valentina</strong> continues to show flashes of potential that very few possess in the freshman class.

Whenever she is in the game, <strong>Valentina</strong> will rack up steals and blocks like no other. She can make open shots and has the speed/ball handling ability to go coast-to-coast after a steal or rebound.. Her all-around offensive game continues to evolve. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1278415' first='Valentina' last='Collins']</strong> is someone to monitor closely in the class of 2029.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Karisma Harris","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12122","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Notre Dame Academy (Los Angeles)","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69570fed86ffc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The super sophomore already shows the confidence and poise to make plays with the ball in her hands. <strong>Karisma</strong> runs the floor and has a high-motor. She can dominate the boards and lead the fast break. She can make the open jumper. <strong>Karisma</strong> excelled in the paint against other centers regardless of size and stature. She understands how to wall up in the post without fouling defensively. Her mobility makes her a mismatch nightmare for opposing bigs.

She plays with a chip on her shoulder. <strong>London</strong> crashes the glass and gives her team 2nd chance opportunities. She can take it coast-to-coast as a scorer or playmaker. Quick 1st step to beat defenders off-the-dribble. <strong>London</strong> does most of her damage inside the arc, but can make shots from various spots on the floor. Nice combination of length, athleticism, and toughness. Keep an eye on her development.
