<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The North Carolina rankings are out.

Lily has deep range and great accuracy. When defenders come running out to contest her highly effective three point shot she will head fake and go past them off the dribble using a pull up jumper. She also has good court vision and nice passing skills to get her teammates involved. Defensively, she is quick enough to keep the defender in front of her. Temple is also money from the free throw line shooting 80% on the year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1253845"],"_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-698ccabccfef5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A quick savvy and shifty guard that makes a lot of plays with the ball in her hands. She is able to get downhill and slash through the defense. Autry also shows she is a nifty passer that has swag. She does a good job of using her speed and quickness mixed with her excellent ball handling showing she is a dynamic guard. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["934659"],"_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-698ccabccff3c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A two-way guard that can facilitate and lead her team on the offensive end or can step up and be more of a scoring threat. Good IQ and leadership skills make Cadance a true asset at the lead guard spot. She can also spot up and knock down threes. Defensively, she gets her hands on a lot of balls that lead to steals for her and her team. Robinson should be moved off the watch list and into the rankings soon. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["954913"],"_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-698ccabccff7c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another guard that should be moving up in the rankings soon. Sadler is a dynamic playmaker that has proven she is a three level scorer. She is good off ball screens of reading the defense and knowing which way to attack the defender. If defense goes behind the screen, she can get her footwork set where she is draining threes. If defense goes over the screen, she is using her speed and quickness to attack the defender's top shoulder and get to the rim. If the defense hedges or cheats she hits her post player rolling to the basket. Solid all around guard that makes plays.</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":"Ava Anderson ","_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":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12121","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Maiden ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"TN Flight Silver ","_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-698ccabcd000f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An elite guard that is one of the best in the state. Ava already has a mid-major Division 1 offer and if you see her play you will know why. She has extremely deep range similar to Caitlin Clark. She will bait you with a crossover dribble and back you down until she gets her feet set exactly where she wants them to be before she fires off her cannon. She also has a step back and sidestep that loses her defense easily. When the defense tries to take away her shot beyond the arc, she then delivers the kill by slicing and dicing to the rim with a finish. Fun player to watch!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
