Salty Guards with Sweet Game: All Eyez On She

Her first step in the set looked good as she finished numerous times off the dribble, but she also showed she could knock it down from outside. Her defense was solid, and she played the passing lane well</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1224923"],"_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-6a16255449311"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zuniga has been on my radar for quite some time,<strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/mia-zuniga/"> see evaluations here</a></em></strong>, and even before I saw her actually play, watching her handle the ball as well as observing older players playing, well, that's a recipe for success when implemented correctly. She's patient and understands how to control the tempo. Her ball-handling and court vision looked good, so did her scoring, both off the dribble and from outside</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["915490"],"_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-6a1625544936d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lester has left several lasting memories in my head, like when she dropped close to 40 in a game when she was in the 6th grade, against talented 8th graders. Or maybe the time she took a hard lick and I thought she was done, only to come back in and drop the winning three, and all of this before her first middle game, <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/ellie-mae-lester/">see evaluations here</a>.</em></strong> Okay, yeah, <strong>#sizedontmatter </strong>when you can play, but she's heady and fierce with a solid skillset, scores however she wants, but that court vision, especially in transition, she threaded the needle between players for assists, using either hand</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1226795"],"_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-6a162554493be"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jensen's first name rhymes with you know what, and her ability to fill it up stood out when I first saw her <strong><em>see evaluations here</em></strong> and over the weekend, she dropped 15 of em from deep, but she can do much more than shoot the three. Her court vision is solid, so is her defense, but she understands she can take over when she wants to. Her catch and shoot has also gotten better, and so has her defense</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["882087"],"_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-6a16255449410"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ternet falls into that "big guard" who can shoot, <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/hadley-ternet/">see evaluations here</a>,</em></strong> but she created plenty of buzz draining the long ball from deep down the stretch on Sunday, but stretching the defense is what she does.
