17U Division “Just Did It” Players-The Shootout Dallas

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Please follow the hashtag<strong> #PGHTheShootoutDallas </strong>on social media for things you may have missed. I covered multiple age groups on Saturday. The focus was on teams who submitted <strong>complete, non-erroneous rosters</strong>, which I always ask for because it allows me to see more players<strong>, it's a science</strong>,<strong> but not rocket science,</strong> so in the <strong>TOP DIVISION</strong>, here ya go</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1217564"],"_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-69d2528c1f1b2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Collins impressed both me and <strong>@playerrimedies</strong> last season, <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/anissa-collins/">see evaluations here</a></em></strong>, and peep this, I love <strong>"on the court" </strong>progression, so seeing her elevate her game on the court as well as elevate over defenders to score around the basket was nice. Her timing to block shots is better, so is her <strong>"on the ball" </strong>defense, yet her pull-up jumper is picture perfect as she dropped it from mid to long-range</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["895600"],"_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-69d2528c1f2c1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Crawford left a lasting first impression<span style="margin: 0px;padding: 0px">, showing she could maneuver around defenders in the paint to score with solid<strong> "hands and footwork,"</strong> the<strong> "drop step," </strong>and a strong finish</span> with either hand. Well, she also has a <strong>"college-ready"</strong> body, her defense and rebounding on both ends looked good, so did her timing to block shots, yet one other thing that set it off was her court vision and decision making, well, I guess that's 2 things, <strong>SCORE</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["899514"],"_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-69d2528c1f355"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Monroe has shown me so much in a short span of time,<strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/brooklyn-monroe/"> see evaluations here</a></em></strong> that her game is already in my head. What does that mean? Well, she was a<strong> #D1Lock </strong>the first time I saw her, and since I haven't been wrong yet, her<strong> "poise under pressure"</strong> has shot up. Her midrange is smoother, she's scoring off the dribble by attacking and finishing with either hand, and her <strong>"baseline to baseline"</strong> pressure has also gotten better</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1821379"],"_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-69d2528c1f465"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Schmidt rose to the occasion, well, she also rose off the ground to drop the jumper, and seeing her elevate to score, at times with a hand in her face, was nice for me. Let me throw in the fact that she's<strong> "long and athletic" </strong>which is the base; she scored off the dribble, rebounded, defended both in and outside the paint, and played the passing lane </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1811700"],"_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-69d2528c1f4ea"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wilson left a lasting<strong> "first impression</strong><span style="margin: 0px;padding: 0px"><strong>," </strong>and, ironically, the</span> high school head coach was on the baseline watching and gave me some great background. I often talk about<strong> sleepers</strong> and numerous <strong>"under the radar" </strong>players, so she is definitely one. Yeah, she's <strong>"long and athletic" </strong>rebounds strongly on both ends, and comes from out of nowhere to block shots, but she also does several other things instinctively, like the passing lane and following her shot, which is <strong>#THROWBACK</strong>. Her first step to attack and score is nice, so is her defense</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
