<!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Another live period is here, which means staffs are back on the road looking for future pieces to add to their program. No matter the circuit, the competition is always there, and programs are searching for players who can help elevate them as quickly as possible. Below are some 2028s worth adding to the schedule.</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["799184"],"_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-6a064d6b77381"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Haywood remains one of the best guards in the class and can be argued as one of the top guards in the state. Offensively, her scoring comes from all levels, but I think her greatest asset is her ability to get to the rim. She is crafty, strong, and plays with great body control. Regardless of her size, she is a threat every time she puts the ball on the floor and attacks the drive. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["884390"],"_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-6a064d6b774a6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Offensively, Engler has made herself known as a deep ball threat, but she has also shown the confidence to get to the rim depending on what the possession needs. Defensively, there is still time to grow, but that's not to say there isn't effort on that side of the ball. As that part of her game continues to sharpen, she could be labeled as a 3&amp;D type of prospect.<br></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["867873"],"_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-6a064d6b775a1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Todd is still adding to her offensive skillset from an individual standpoint, but when it comes to scoring within the flow and system of the game, she can do that. Her biggest attribute is what she brings on the defensive end, and the amount of pressure she puts on ball handlers never lets up, no matter what point it is in the game. There is still time to even out the skillset, and when she does, she could continue to raise her stock.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["901833"],"_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-6a064d6b77692"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>The strength is growing for Avanni, and so is the overall flow and pace to her game. She is starting to take the game possession by possession, and when you have that type of skillset as a three level scorer and playmaker, slowing the game down usually works in your favor. She has already pulled in some strong offers, and I could definitely see more coming her way before the AAU season concludes.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["974037"],"_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-6a064d6b77784"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>The length and versatility are the first couple of things that jump out when you watch her play, but a few possessions in, you start to see how sharp her skillset is with the ball in her hands. There is craftiness and some flash to her game, but it's used to make plays, not show off. Her shooting is another threat she adds to the floor, and she is not one you can leave open or give time to. Strong potential.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
