The 8th grader played with a level of composure and confidence that is rare for a player at her stage of development. Adams showed the ability to shoot the ball efficiently from the perimeter, but what stood out most was her shot selection and feel for the game. She never forced action and consistently let the game come to her. She demonstrated strong pace, good decision-making, and the ability to impact the game without needing high volume. Adams is clearly one of the top prospects in the 2029 class in Arizona.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["866524"],"_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-69929af45bf3c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Emuze once again demonstrated why she is one of the most dangerous shot-makers in the state. Her ability to make contested shots, create space off the dribble, and score from multiple areas of the floor makes her extremely difficult to defend. What separates Amuse from many prospects is her confidence and willingness to take—and make—high-level shots that most players cannot execute. She has the ability to shift momentum quickly and remains one of the most dynamic scoring guards in Arizona.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["558946"],"_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-69929af45bf88"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mack continued to reinforce her status as the top unsigned senior in Arizona. Buckner's versatility was on full display throughout the event, as she impacted the game on both ends of the floor. Offensively, she showed the ability to score at all three levels, knocking down perimeter shots while also operating effectively in the mid-range and around the basket. Her length, athleticism, and motor allowed her to affect the game defensively as well. Her recruitment should continue to draw significant attention as she performs at a high level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1054162"],"_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-69929af45bfd2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tink was one of the most impressive young forwards at the event and showed why she is considered one of the top freshmen in the region. Gray plays with a high basketball IQ and understands how to use her size and positioning to create advantages offensively. She did an excellent job creating space, finishing around the basket, and facilitating offense from both the high and low post. Her ability to pass and make reads adds another dimension to her game, making her especially valuable.<br></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":"Jadyn Van Horn","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2030","_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":"12121","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"5 Star Academy","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"Team Why Not Premier","_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-69929af45c074"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Van Horn entered the event with a national reputation, and she backed it up with her performance. The 8th grader showed why she is viewed as one of the top 20–30 prospects nationally in her class. Van Horn excelled as a floor general, handling defensive pressure with ease while consistently putting her teammates in position to succeed. She displayed advanced ball-handling ability, strong court vision, and the ability to score when needed. Her perimeter shooting was efficient, and she showed the ability to create her own offense off the dribble. What separates Van Horn is her complete game—she impacts winning in multiple ways and plays with a maturity that translates immediately.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
