Duel For The Dynasty: 17U-Versatility Pays Off

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Being able to play multiple positions is great, especially when you can do it on both ends of the court, so I'm closing my<strong> Duel For The Dynasty</strong> <strong>17U</strong> coverage with some players who did just that</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- 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":"Kenisha Payne","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"Arkansas Lynx","_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-69ff46c444981"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Payne is one of those players I approached after the game to find out what her name was because not only does she stand around<strong> "the magic number" </strong>but she is also <strong>"long and athletic,"</strong> which is the base. She scored around the basket, her hands and footwork were nice, and she scored off the dribble. She rebounded and handled the ball afterward, showed good court vision, and played solid defense inside and outside the paint </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1215732"],"_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-69ff46c444a16"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gosey immediately showed me she could go on my initial sighting, and she has been evaluated by both me and <strong>@playerrimedies</strong> <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/georgia-gosey-2/">see evaluations here. </a></em></strong>She played the passing lane and went coast to coast to score or dish, and also faced the basket to score.

Again, hands and footwork are a skillset that gets the job done.

She's strong and attacks the basket strongly so her finishing after contact isn't a problem. She also hit the boards on both ends, played solid defense <strong>"on the ball"</strong> but what really got me was her<strong> </strong> jumper</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
