She can light it up on any given night and does it in a flurry. A lot of her damage comes in the post with good footwork and feel for scoring as a wing. She cleans up on the glass and finds the outlet pass quickly to get out in transition. Shooting mechanics need refinement, and a reliable perimeter shot will be key, as will the free-throw line.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1871464"],"_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-6a426bfde928a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McComb has great basketball IQ and loves to set screens and be physical in the paint. She is not afraid to take it to the rack and shows great touch around the basket, making difficult shots look effortless. Super quick and shifty, loves to run in the open floor and look for easy buckets. Very efficient rebounder who can make all the passes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1871465"],"_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-6a426bfde92e0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lawson loves to play up-tempo and has a great IQ with her passing. She can get to the basket with ease and score in a variety of ways. The touch around the basket is good and she can sling it from beyond the arc, showing enough range and accuracy to believe the mechanics will continue to get more refined with reps. She needs more confidence from the perimeter and in creating her own shot. Defensively, she's smart and can stay with a defender with good lateral footwork and closeout ability to make things difficult for shooters.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1820827"],"_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-6a426bfde932e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Houston's offensive game has been developing with more reps and becoming a focal point. She's comfortable operating from the high post, attacking either direction and putting pressure on defenders off the dribble. She has good size and instincts as a rebounder and rim protector, brings versatility and plays with a high motor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1378947"],"_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-6a426bfde9378"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Douglas has great feel for the game, loves to set screens and roll off them, and is physical in the paint. She brings good athleticism, defensive instincts, and a high motor. Offensively, her game is developing but the shooting mechanics and feel around the basket are solid and she loves to run in transition. The next step is adding range to space the floor and becoming a better passer as double teams come her way. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
