The '29 guard continues to impress with her quick release sniper like ability. Some could watch her shot selection and say it's daring, but it truly is indicative of a player that has put the reps in to be able to take those. Her quick bursts of speed are second to none, giving an extra boost when defenders decide to crowd. Lila's decision-making skills particularly as players close out and rotations adjust seemingly has improved too. Plus, she's no slouch as a defender either, making it tough on opponents to catch a rhythm. There's just so much to rave about with Lila; she's highly touted for a reason. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1259762"],"_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-6a27ac3f95221"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1259762' first='Londyn' last='Legiadre'] (2030) | </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A guard with great depth and great natural instincts on offense. Londyn moves well around the floor, can be a secondary playmaker and has an improving long-range outside shot. She does have an intriguing facet to her game though; Legiadre looks so polished as a protective ballhandler when facing heavy pressure in her vicinity. This isn't a quality usually seen when a respect usually operates in space. However, Londyn seems to get a tick faster, more precise and even more electric, showing off her change of direction moves to shake players off of her. Nevertheless, this a player that shines no matter who she shares the court with. She flashes stunning ability at times and she's becoming more dynamic each time watching her.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1326567"],"_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-6a27b963bdd15"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1326567' first='Jocelyn' last='Taylor'] (2029) | Wing | </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Taylor has been a shining star for the RI Breakers recently. She had a breakout game where she put up some healthy numbers and was recognized as an All-Team selection by Made Hoops. Jocelyn will be a '29 to keep an eye on, especially in the small state of RI; she can be a breakout candidate.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1867454"],"_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-6a27b963bdd65"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1867454' first='Nora' last='Ongulo'] (2031) | CG | </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's rare that a 7th grader looks like they could hold their own against high school talent, but Ongulo is someone that fits that bill. Her athletic ability, polished shooting release and understanding of how to get her spots efficiently are her most striking traits. This is a player worth taking the trip to go watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["351274"],"_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-6a27b963bddaf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='351274' first='Alana' last='McNamara'] (2028) | Forward | </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Alana has been proving she's a walking mismatch. Especially lately, McNamara has shown she can be a go-to option downlow or a secondary creator on the wing. She works hard plus she's got some counters when equally matched with physicality. Alana is steadily improving and she has the influence to keep her squad in any game. For this reason, Alana is likely climbing the ranks this summer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
