Duel For the Dynasty: 17U Pleasant Surprises

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I take this stuff seriously and always have, so you will never see me overhype or throw misleading words or phrases out here about players, but you know what, I love seeing<strong> NEW FACES</strong> who leave lasting first impressions </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["879744"],"_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-69fcde1837215"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hankerson played so well that I got up and asked her what her name was. Yes, in certain situations, I do that, and not to add steps on my Fitbit, but seeing her show she could play multiple positions well was nice. She hit the boards and handled the ball afterward, and did a good job seeing the floor in transition. She also played solid defense and the passing lane, plus her body control after contact off the dribble was nice. Oh, yeah, she blocked shots</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1803194"],"_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-69fcde18372ad"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sorrels did a good job of going coast to coast, outrebounding taller players, and her athleticism on both ends shone brightly as she applied<strong> "on the ball"</strong> pressure as well as attacking the basket strongly off the dribble to score. She gave me the pull-up jumper and also played the passing lane </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1809419"],"_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-69fcde183732b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">El-Amin did her on both ends, and not only was <strong>"on the ball" </strong>pressure smothering at times, but she also used her quick hands to pick pockets. She played the passing lane, which resulted in steals in another way, and she did a good job setting the defender up to score off the dribble. Her court vision across the boards 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":["1846148"],"_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-69fcde18373a1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">West can go <strong>East</strong> as well, but her <strong>North </strong>and<strong> South</strong> is a big problem because of her<strong> SWB,</strong> <strong>"speed with the ball" </strong>Not only does she fall into that<strong> #sizedontmatter</strong> group, her athleticism on both ends gave me some thrills. Yes, her defense created havoc, but seeing her blow the defender, cuff the ball in midair, and score dropped the mic. Her pull-up jumper was another plus </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1255144"],"_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-69fcde183741d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stockton understands something very important, and that's how to get hers<strong> "in the flow</strong>" yet she's poised and stays under control while being pressured, and just as importantly, she plays with herself. Her defense was solid, so was her court vision, but she also showed<strong> </strong>she could score off the dribble and drop the jumper</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
