Attacking the basket, and playing fundamental basketball!   Nothing fancy, just taking one possession at a time and seeing what the defense is giving her.

The way she watches her teammates cut to the basket and precisely passes to them, how she ties up the ball, gives up her body for loose balls- She is everywhere! As for her ability to score and overall defense? Don't worry, she's got that down too! <em>(Below with ball)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1850052,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/05/IMG_1303.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1850052" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1241547"],"_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-69fa90ac81f79"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Grab some popcorn, because let me tell ya, Caylee is laser focused and it doesn't matter where she catches and shoots- she likes to shoot from anywhere! Excellent follow through, moves well without the ball, and you can just tell she loves her teammates! Distributes the ball well! <em>(Below on defense, Featured Photo)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1850073,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/05/IMG_1388.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1850073" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1238419"],"_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-69fa90ac81f9b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Smoot is a delight to watch with her lightning speed, and how she can find gaps within the defense! Beautiful crossover- her first step leaves the defense behind, and as a result that allows her open looks at the rim. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1850067,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/05/IMG_1379.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1850067" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1839827"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1850070,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-69fa90ac81fc1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Anderson is such a physically strong beast in the paint, that runs the floor well and comes out hungry to play particularly on defense and rebounds!
