She's been a double-double machine, averaging 10.2 rebounds over her career so far. She fights hard on the offensive glass to create extra possessions and, as a 6-foot guard, takes full advantage of mismatches with her size and strength.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["825463"],"_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-69d6f99c9a703"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rhyan will be playing for [program_tooltip program_id='714664' first='Team' last='Sharp'] 17U this AAU season after averaging 18 points, 7 rebounds, 4 steals, and 3 assists per game. She has a smooth stroke from three and attacks the basket with purpose, using her strength to create space. She's a crafty finisher around the rim and has the ability to elevate and finish over taller defenders.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["835898"],"_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-69d6f99c9a781"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kirsten put together a huge season, scoring 623 points and averaging 23 per game. She has a smooth step-back move that creates space at the three-point line and needs very little room to get her shot off. She shoots with confidence even under pressure, and if defenders overplay her, she's quick to blow by them and get all the way to the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["865672"],"_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-69d6f99c9a7f7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kylee became the first junior in school history to reach 1,000 career points while averaging 17.6 points and 8.5 rebounds per game this season. She's a strong finisher at the basket and plays well with her back to the hoop, using her size and strength effectively. Her ability to step out and knock down perimeter shots makes her a tough matchup, and she moves well without the ball to find open looks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["651514"],"_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-69d6f99c9a86b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rebecca averaged 12.9 points per game and hit her 200th career three-pointer this season. A lefty shooter, she can knock down shots both off the catch and off the dribble. She moves well around the perimeter to find open space and is a strong finisher at the rim, drawing contact effectively. With a tight handle and quick first step, she's dangerous getting downhill.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
