She consistently attacked the basket from the perimeter, getting into the paint where she finished well and drew contact to earn trips to the free throw line. Ryanne moves well without the ball, finding open space for teammates to deliver passes. She finishes with smooth, crafty moves such as euro steps and confidently drains deep threes coming off screens.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1108858"],"_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-69acc759e3d97"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kelsey closed the regular season strong, using her long reach to battle for positioning around the basket and secure offensive rebounds. Her constant hustle on the offensive glass creates extra possessions and second-chance opportunities for her team. From the perimeter she shoots the ball well and can create space for her shot off the dribble. When attacking the basket she lowers her shoulder to clear space while keeping the ball high, preventing smaller defenders from knocking it away.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1651029"],"_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-69acc759e3ddd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lia wastes no time getting her shot off, letting it fly as soon as she sees even a small window and knocking them down at a high rate. She brings strong effort on the glass at both ends, securing defensive rebounds to end possessions and fighting for offensive boards to create extra chances. Lia handles the ball well in pick-and-roll situations, finding rolling teammates with well-timed passes while also keeping her head up when attacking to locate open shooters.</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":"Harper Gutheim","_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":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12122","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Burlington High School","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"Lone Wolf Athletics","_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-69acc759e3e76"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Harper does an excellent job getting her feet set before the catch, allowing her shot to come out immediately upon receiving the ball. She attacks the basket with strength, embracing contact and refusing to let defenders knock her off her path. Harper also shows a strong mid-range pull-up game, highlighting her ability to score from all three levels. Defensively she has active hands, contesting or blocking shots without fouling, and hustles hard in transition for fast-break layups.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
