She has great length and uses it well, can defend inside or out with an outstanding wingspan. Fundamentally very sound, can body up her defender and box out well from deep. Defensively she can defend inside or out.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["652045"],"_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-69fa6fe8ce4d8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I had the chance to see her last year and was impressed with her skills. She's a year older and a year wiser, displayed good handles and she is shifty enough to score in multiple phases. Did a good job on the boards and distributed the ball effectively. Look for her stock to continue to go up with another good summer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

Here is a look at some more players who played well over the weekend in Trotwood. Coming up later on will be the 17U all-tournament team and a look at a handful of 13U performers.
