Southern Section Playoff Preview: 2027 Floor Generals to Watch

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Having a pure PG who can orchestrate the offense does wonders in the playoffs. Elite floor generals spread the ball around and handle ball pressure well, all while being a threat in the scoring department. They lead vocally. They lead by example. A true floor general has what it takes to be the extension of the coach on the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1616328"],"_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-69829bf6a7c01"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There are only a handful of 2027 point guards in the state who can drop 20 points AND 10 assists. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1616328' first='Sarah' last='Edwards']</strong> is one of them. She makes other players better and has mastered the art of when to score and when to pass. The tight handle, ambidextrous qualities, and body control all stand out. High-IQ guard who sees the floor extremely well! <strong>Sarah</strong> organizes the offense in the half-court while executing the gameplan to perfection. This allows the free-flowing offense to run smoothly and efficiently whenever she is at the helm. <strong>Sarah</strong> is the type of PG who gets everyone involved. If you are open on the perimeter, she will find you. If you cut to the basket, she will deliver a jaw-dropping dime. If you leak out in transition, she will deliver an outlet pass for the ages.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["843786"],"_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-69859c3166f8f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Angelina</strong> is a master at manipulating the defense to set her teammates up for open looks. She has the size and IQ to see the floor well and pick the defense apart. <strong>Angelina</strong> understands how to keep the defender on her hip. She can score the ball at will, making her even more dangerous in the playmaking department. Cerebral guard who beats you on skill and smarts. The offensive firepower <strong>Angelina</strong> provides will make Windward a very tough out in the Southern Sectional playoffs. She can explode for 30+ points to go along with several assists. The lefty floor general is a vocal leader, sharpshooter, and paint penetrator all in one.</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":"Pearl Johnson","_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":"5'1u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12123","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Los Amigos","_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-698e53e3a41d8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Pearl</strong> has elite speed with the ball in her hands. She also has the poise and ball control you're looking for in a lead guard. Fearless, energetic PG who plays much bigger than her listed height. She has a nose for the ball, making her adept at gaining possession on long rebounds and loose balls. <strong>Pearl </strong>flourishes in transition because of her ability to force a turnover and quickly turn it into two points on the other end. Quick thinking and good decision-making on the fastbreak. One standout performances earlier this year: 22 points, 5 assists, 5 rebounds, 6 steals. <strong>Pearl Johnson</strong> is a name to know based in Los Angeles.. a true hidden gem at the point guard position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1360417"],"_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-69730b2de4c8b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It is rare for a team to have two guards with the ability to control pace of play, game flow, and momentum shifts. Windward High School is in elite company. <strong>Charis </strong>has a college-ready frame to go along with an intriguing all-around game. She runs the half-court sets to perfection and keeps the ball moving. Her ability to exploit mismatches in the pick-and-roll stands out. <strong>Charis</strong> is unstoppable going downhill, which leads to wide open looks for her teammates on the perimeter. Her change of pace with the ball in her hands is a load to handle considering her 3-level scoring ability. Legit combo guard who can run the offense whenever necessary. <strong>Charis </strong>and <strong>Angelina</strong> play so well off each other. Every top team in the Southern Section is on upset alert if they run into this dynamic backcourt duo.</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":" Delyla Cabrera","_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":"5'6u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12123","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"El Toro","_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-698e70a194484"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Delyla</strong> has 15 games on the year with 4 or more assists. Her unselfish nature and commitment to facilitating has resulted in wins. <strong>Delyla</strong> keeps her head up and delivers timely, on-target passes. Cerebral guard who is typically a step ahead of her opponent. Elite hustle player who is willing to do the dirty work. Makes her presence known on the defensive end (7 steals in a game earlier this year). <strong>Delyla</strong> has a quick release on her jump shot. Dangerous threat off-the-ball in catch-and-shoot situations. She will be the X-factor for El Toro throughout the playoffs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
