Memphis Team Camp: Houston 

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Memphis Head Coach Hana Haden hosted her very 1st team camp at the University of Memphis. I stopped by on the first day to check out the opening games.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Houston is a team that I got to see a few times last season. Coach Kevin Caraway is heading into his second season as the head coach. This team was really a young squad made up of mostly sophomores last season. Now those sophomores are juniors with a year of leadership under Coach Caraway.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1261245"],"_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-6a2dae74096bc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><br>The attacking guard will be a new face for Houston. The junior started her high school career at Whitehaven High School. She was in the starting lineup at the camp. Earlier in the game, she consistently attempted to get to the basket. Defensively, she was able to get 2 steals and fast break attempts due to her quick hands. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1154969"],"_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-6a2dae7409735"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><br>The scoring point guard showed me something today that I hadn't noticed before - her ability to change direction. She had a possession where she was able to get by 2 defenders closing out by laterally changing directions. Then she&nbsp; finished with a floater. As a point guard, she is very active at rebounding out of area, which was on display today.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["822250"],"_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-6a2dae7409785"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><br>The senior forward showed her versatility and power as a post player. One of her first touches she received was due to her posting hard and big. She was able to get a back to basket shot attempt. Her versatility was shown on a following possession,&nbsp; when she stretched the floor for an extended short corner shot attempt.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1305910"],"_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-6a2dae74097d0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><br>The versatile forward came off the bench for Houston. She immediately made an impact with a steal. The sophomore is a super active player and uses her length well for rebounds, steals, and defense.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Houston also has additional experience in the guard spot with Senior Combo Guard and Scorer [player_tooltip player_id='1841808' first='Kennedy' last='Hulbert'], Junior Scoring Guard and Lock Down Defender [player_tooltip player_id='1155071' first='Alexis' last='Cox'], and Junior High Energy, Versatile Guard [player_tooltip player_id='1245329' first='Trinity' last='Grandberry']. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
