H-Town Havoc: 16U Hustle and Bustle

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There is no way to quantify hustle plays on the box score. But the diving for loose balls, sacrificing one's body, and full out going for it without calculated- the "run through a wall" spirit are intangible parts of the game. This kind of sheer effort cannot be taught but is a true standout component. The following players brought that kind of all out hustle and bustle to the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1865949"],"_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-6a43cf1898981"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Smith has a knack for winning loose balls and battling through contact. Once she secures possessions, she stays composed and is able to use strong pivot work to create an outlet. In transition, she is a smart decision-maker consistently making sound decisions. Embodying hustle, Smith sets herself apart by following her shot with purpose in hopes of generating more offensive possessions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1812251"],"_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-6a43cf1898a04"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Williams is an instant spark for her team and a player a coach can trust to play extended minutes based off of her grit. When she gets the ball on the perimeter, she is fearless as she weaves through the lane to finish at the cup in traffic. Contact does not phase her, as she also displays the toughness to crash the boards hard. Once she secures rebounds she gives her team a boost in transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1309114"],"_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-6a43cf1898a59"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Harns showed her ability to shoot the three, but I grouped her into this hustle and bustle article because she is just that. The way she throws her body on the floor going for loose balls is inspiring to watch. The pressure defense she plays makes the offense uncomfortable and it's a nonstop attack mode. Harns played in multiple age divisions at the H-Town Havoc and was just as relentless on all floors.

Blakemore combines speed with strength to make her opponents succumb to her physicality on the court. She showcased her basketball instincts on the defensive end by playing impactful help defense. She protected the paint for her team by quickly stepping over and had several blocks that made the offense rethink their interior attack. Blakemore was all over the court and has raw toughness to go.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1808694"],"_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-6a43cf1898af6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Instinctive slasher. Gipson makes going downhill look effortless. She uses precision timing to attack openings, and controlled footwork and body control to ease by defenders and finish at the basket. While Gipson's size may not be intimidating, her ability to read the defense and make quick attacks cannot be slept on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
