Her feel for the game stands out. She plays with effort and intensity on the defensive end. Moves her feet and shows active hands. Offensively, <strong>Savannah</strong> can get downhill and facilitate for others. She can light up it on the perimeter as well. The footwork and mechanics are impressive. Shoots it well off-the-catch and off-the-dribble. Do-it-all guard with a bright future ahead of her.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1246599"],"_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-6a1867314c521"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Taylor</strong> already has ideal length with an intriguing perimeter skillset.

This has a lot to do with her basketball IQ. She is making noise on 17U for the 626ers! <strong>Genysta</strong> is quick and shifty with good speed in the open floor. Makes sound decisions with the ball in her hands. Can score and facilitate for others. <strong>Genysta</strong> is a tough in-your-face defender who is willing to pick up full-court. High-motor guard who is a nightmare for opposing guards. Offensively, she has the body control to make tough finishes around the basket. She can also knock-it-down from long-range if you leave her open.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- 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":"Hailey Tower","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2030","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12125","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Buchanan","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"[program_tooltip program_id='713886' first='Cal' last='Stars']","_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-6a06667197ce8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Hailey</strong> played a huge part in the [program_tooltip program_id='713886' first='Cal' last='Stars'] 14U JR EYBL 5-0 record in Session II earlier this month. She has a nice mix of length, skill, and fluidity. Exceptional cutter off-the-ball. Flourishes in the open floor. Finishes with either hand around the basket. Elite defender who can guard multiple positions. <strong>Hailey's</strong> ability to put the ball on the floor is a difference maker at her height. Confident handle with long strides to get into the paint. Unselfish player who routinely makes the right play. Versatile prospect with one of the highest ceilings in the 2030 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1831634"],"_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-69fd644318140"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">33 points and 11 three-pointers on Day 1 of EYBL Session II... in the 17U division! <strong>Monika </strong>was recently invited to USA Basketball's Gold Camp- SoCal. She joins a distinguished group of individuals and will be a household name sooner rather than later. <strong>Monika</strong> is arguably the top shooter in the 2030 class! The stepback is LETHAL! She can get to the basket as well, which makes her unpredictable on the perimeter. <strong>Monika</strong> has a quick 1st step, shifty handle, and next-level confidence as a shot-maker. Keep an eye on her development moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
