She is racking up offers as we speak. Can't-miss PF with length, mobility, and elite footwork. Finishes well in traffic. Runs the floor. Excels in the pick-and-roll. Catches EVERYTHING. As reliable as they come. <strong>Eve</strong> can score in the paint with her back-to-the-basket. Displays a nice faceup game using the triple threat. Vocal on defense. Protects the rim and alters shots on a consistent basis. Prolific offensive rebounder. Expect <strong>Eve</strong> to 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_player":["1817820"],"_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-69e967ecb78b5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Shiloh</strong> had an impressive showing at The Grand Opening hosted by Select Events a few weeks ago. She is lights-out from long-range. Uses the shot fake to perfection. Plays through contact on both ends. Gritty defender who isn't afraid to bang down low. <strong>Shiloh </strong>can guard multiple positions. Elite spot-up shooter who can also put the ball on the floor when necessary. Finishes strong inside. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1817820' first='Shiloh' last='Johnson']</strong> should be on your radar immediately! Nice combination of size, skill, and athleticism. Expect her to make a jump this summer with [program_tooltip program_id='716027' first='Team' last='G']!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["901234"],"_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-69faf854184de"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Maya</strong> is an athletic 2-way forward who plays exceptional help defense. She has quick reflexes and natural instincts. Plays with toughness and physicality inside, allowing her to effectively defend bigger opponents in the paint. She also has the lateral quickness to defend on the perimeter. <strong>Maya</strong> runs the floor very well. Shows good speed and body control on the fastbreak. Can take it coast-to-coast and finish at the rim. <strong>Maya</strong> has loads of potential on both ends of the floor.</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":"Rihanna Henderson","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12124","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Archbishop Mitty","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"San Jose Cagers","_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-69e9317765ab1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Rihanna</strong> continues to be reliable game-in, game-out. This has translated to wins for the San Jose Cagers thus far, including a 5-0 record at the HHH SoCal Spring Fling last month. The Cagers won every game in dominating fashion. <strong>Rihanna</strong> has a nice basketball frame. Capable scorer who can rebound and defend. The all-around game is impressive. <strong>Rihanna</strong> finishes strong inside. She can also make the open 3 from time-to-time. Impacts the game in a multitude of ways. Keep an eye on her development moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1257239"],"_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-69e03ed562d42"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Maliya</strong> can put the ball on the floor and get to the basket. Lights-out shooter off-the-catch. Soft touch around the basket. The size and skill combination make her a mismatch nightmare. Low-floor, high-ceiling prospect. Willing passer who makes the right play. Virtually unstoppable in 1v1 situations if you don't send help. The length, 1st step, and shot-making ability all play a factor. <strong>Maliya</strong> made some noise at EYBL Session 1, playing up in the 17U division. She has the potential to be a Day 1 starter at the Power 4 level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
