Houston Hoops 2032 Sparkles at Shooting 4 Da Cure

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Okay, talent is everywhere, right? Yeah, that's why I hashtagged 15 years ago, and seeing so many talented 6th graders at the event and missing a <strong>"can't miss" </strong>player, this comes from reputable sources.

Yeah, this is a different era filled with jumping around in the portal, but as good as she was, her ability to run her team and make those around her better are things you can't teach. She can take over games offensively, she threads the needle effortlessly, and her defense has gotten better</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1817752"],"_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-69cbe8f06dcb7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Palacios falls into that <strong>#sizedontmatter</strong> group, yet she's heady, handles the ball and sees the floor under pressure, plus she can score, both off the dribble and from outside.
