17U Division-Spicy Guards Help Open Duel For The Dynasty

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I was dragging after my long ride battling rain and crazy drivers on Friday so I wasn't exactly well rested for Saturday however several sparks got my adrenaline going from numerous players so let me start with these young ladies </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1829628"],"_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-69f6b9977947f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Senegal plays for 1 Nation and she started off <strong>"under a groove" </strong>as her explosive first step coupled with nice body control after contact had me smiling. She applied <strong>"on the ball"</strong> pressure which helped to create turnovers and her court vision looked good, especially in transition</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1216411"],"_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-69f6b99779502"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Adams impressed me a couple of weeks ago <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2026/04/17u-small-guards-bring-plenty-of-heat-space-city-slam/">see evaluation here </a></em></strong>yet today, I was overly impressed because not only will I reiterate how explosive she is off the dribble, she stays under control while being pressured and her acrobatic finishes spells trouble is coming. On the flip, her defense stayed consistent across the board</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["890046"],"_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-69f6b99779564"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wilson falls into that <strong>#sizedontmatter </strong>when you can play and yes, she showed she could on the court. She also has an explosive first step to attack and score or dish off the dribble but seeing her thread the needle between defenders for assists was also a plus yet seeing her create havoc on defense was another plus</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1842006"],"_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-69f6b997795c5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">James gave me a great first look and also helped give me my second boost as the day started to wind down. She's strong and attacks the basket with power so contact is irrelevant on her finishes. She also plays solid defense and saw the floor well but her<strong> "catch and shoot" </strong>with a hand in her face needs to be mentioned as well</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1842071"],"_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-69f6b99779620"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Smith, like her teammate<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='1842006' first='Kariah' last='James']</strong>, also gave me a lasting first look so she's speedy with the ball and stay under control while being pressured. Her body control after contact looked good, so id her mid to long-lane,<strong> "catch and shoot"</strong> included. On top of that, she brought heat defensively </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
