Offensive Playmakers Make Their Mark In State Playoffs

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In playoff basketball, scoring runs decide everything. These players can stretch defenses, create their own shot, and swing momentum. When the game tightens up, they have the ability to take over and put pressure on opponents offensively.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["972333"],"_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-69ac6750c31b7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Leading scorer who is a clever plaver with a nice pull-up game. Very instinctual, which can be both a strength and something to refine. A shifty guard who can cause problems by speeding up the ball handlers. Tough shooting night, but she didn't lose confidence. Still aggressive and willing to make plays. Needs more rhythm at times, but when she gets in rhythm she can completely change the tempo of a game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["741838"],"_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-69ac6750c3224"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Known as a shooter but brings more than scoring. She is a connector who makes the right pass and reads defenses well. Started runs with shooting and playmaking and also helped stop runs with penetration and steals. Smart veteran presence who keeps the offense organized. Her decision-making helps keep Loyola balanced on both ends of the floor. She understands tempo and plays with confidence in big moments.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["514892"],"_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-69ac6750c3273"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The star of the show, the shooting star, to be exact. Super quick release with a high follow-through and plenty of swagger to go with it. When she makes one, you might see that follow-through hang there a little extra. She plays like every shot is going in. What stood out was that she wasn't just streaky she was knocking shots down in all four quarters. Big-time confidence.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["861181"],"_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-69ac6750c330f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Deep, unlimited range as a shooter, but also plays with patience and control. Picks her moments to attack and does not force action. Shows strong poise and leadership while running the team. A steady guard who understands tempo and spacing. Has another year to continue building her skill set. When she controls the pace, the offense looks much more organized.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["840240"],"_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-69ac6750c33e7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rare player who can hit threes and then immediately turn around and get a three-point play the hard way. Has an intriguing skill set and clear chemistry with her team. You can tell she has played a lot of basketball. Not always the team's leading scorer, but on any given night she could be, while also contributing in rebounds, blocks, and steals. Shows good footwork inside and gets to the line frequently. Brings a versatile inside-out presence that impacts the game in multiple ways. Can stretch the floor but also battle inside when needed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
