She's becoming a 2-way menace that gives full energy and she's pretty consistent in her efforts. Amari understands her job no matter the situation. What's been nice is that her offense is starting to look more polished. Her shot has been coming along and even more explosive getting to the rim. Amari was an easy addition to this conversation. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1605183"],"_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-69eebc4a7dd51"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1605183' first='Mollie' last='Puffer'] (2029) | PG/SG | BSJ </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Puffer helped lead her squad to a 4-0 record over the weekend in PA.

Her positional size plus versatility from around the floor stood out. Sarah's offense looked fluid and then she made some exceptional plays on the other side of the ball too. There were a few highlight blocks that made opposing players think twice. Poland is looking to have a major upcoming summer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
