In middle school, she was exciting to see and gave me a glimpse of what was coming yet I lost track of her until recently <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/elizabeth-lee/">see evaluations here</a></em></strong> and in the semifinals, she showed what I envisioned was in the making</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["764232"],"_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-69c0128481465"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Maley is probably one of the most underrated <strong>"bigs" i</strong>n the state and seeing her go from a back to the basket player back in middle school to expanding her game over the years speaks volumes about her <strong>"work ethic"</strong> as well as<strong> DESIRE</strong> to get better.

As I good as I knew she was, watching her show she could take over games offensively when needed yet also set her teammates up nicely for good looks so her falling into the<strong> "making those around her better" </strong>group was on full display during the playoffs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
