The proof was in the pudding in Phoenix last weekend: 15 points, 6 assists, 7 rebounds, and 3.5 steals per game... IN THE 17U DIVISION! How does she get it done? <strong>Jaiyana</strong> finishes strong around the basket. Downhill guard with a deadly hesitation move. Knockdown shooter with good mechanics (4/6 from long-range over the weekend). Deadly floater in the lane. Gritty in-your-face on-ball defender. <strong>Jaiyana</strong> has ideal length and sees the floor extremely well. Plays through contact. Elite in transition. What can't she do?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1820972"],"_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-69ec01602a8b7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Mikhaila</strong> finished 4th in scoring (16.5ppg) in the 15U division... this includes a 27 point masterpiece on day 3 in a competitive back-and-forth duel against NJ Gemz EYBL. The mid-range pull up is LETHAL! <strong>Mikhaila</strong> has an advanced feel for the game. 3-level-scorer who showed impressive efficiency throughout the tourney. Scores from various spots on the floor. Her ability to stop on a dime keeps the defense off balance. <strong>Mikhaila</strong> can shoot off-the-dribble and off-the-catch. Willing passer with solid vision to find open cutters to the basket. Creates her own shot at a high level. <strong>Mikhaila</strong> gives you endless firepower on the offensive end. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1268751"],"_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-69e7a0e1b88aa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Lucia</strong> stuffed the stat sheet in EYBL Session 1. Top 3 in blocks, top 10 in rebounds, top 15 in scoring. <strong>Lucia </strong>is a freshman going up against the top 16U players in the country! Natural power forward with an advanced skillset offensively. Takes pride owning the paint defensively. Rare shot-making ability for her size. <strong>Lucia</strong> is fundamentally sound with a high basketball IQ. She can spot-up and create her own shot with range out to the 3pt line. Displays a relentless motor on the glass. Protects the rim with excellent timing as a shot blocker. Understands how to get easy baskets in the post. <strong>Lucia</strong> will be a household name sooner rather than later! </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":"Nelly Strong","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2029","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12121","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Mater Dei","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"Sports Academy Swish","_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-69ec01602a9c7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Nelly</strong> was remarkably consistent in all 3 games: 16 points, 18 points, 17 points. She was also remarkably efficient... nearly 60% shooting from the field! <strong>Nelly </strong>has very good shot selection. Downhill guard who gets to the line at a high rate. She doesn't take many 3s, but will take and make it if you leave her open. Special in the open floor. Displays active hands defensively with noticeably long arms to generate deflections. <strong>Nelly</strong> finishes comfortably with either hand. She makes other players better. High-IQ guard who routinely makes the right play when the ball is in her hands.</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":"Arianna Brewer","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2029","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12123","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Bishop Gorman","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"[program_tooltip program_id='715880' first='Why' last='Not Premier']","_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-69e7a3cbc3c11"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Arianna</strong> is a natural-born scorer. 15 points per game in the 16u division! Two-way guard who checks all the boxes. <strong>Arianna</strong> can play on and off-the-ball. Operates well out of the pick-and-roll as a scorer and facilitator. She plays with a chip on her shoulder on both ends. 3 blocks and 6 steals total across three games. <strong>Arianna</strong> makes her free throws. She rebounds well for a guard. The floater is automatic. <strong>Arianna</strong> can slash-and-sliver her way to the rim. She can also make shots on the perimeter at a high clip. High ceiling, low floor prospect who is already a national recruit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
