Solivan uses her physicality well to carve out space in the paint and is also a reliable mid-range scorer with a smooth pull-up jumper.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["651515"],"_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-69f0bd67cf86a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='651515' first='Hannah' last='Fraser'] is a strong finisher around the rim, capable of scoring effectively with either hand.

She is especially effective near the free-throw line area, where she consistently knocks down short jumpers. Johnson seals well in the paint to create post opportunities and also protects the rim as a strong shot blocker on defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
