She had herself a weekend. She showed that every possession mattered and she capitalized at crucial moments of the game. She was the clear focal point of the opponent's defensive strategy, receiving heavy pressure from astute defenders. However, Owumi prevailed in all the right moments. There's just something about Bella that separates her from her peers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["968013"],"_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-6a374b2734f9d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='968013' first='Jacylah' last='Goode'] (2027) | SF | LC </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What an impression Goode made this weekend. There were a few highlight plays that were absolutely beautiful to watch, but it was her efficiency that really stood out. The top-rated wing made it a point to move with a purpose in her dribbles, consistently being in attacking positions out of triple-threat and showing expectational finishing ability deep in the paint. The weightroom must be paying off because Jacylah was moving defenders at will. The size, raw power, length and foundational shooting posed a serious risk to opponents. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["934226"],"_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-6a374b2735023"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='934226' first='Saige' last='DeJesus'] (2029) | CG | NH </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Saige was on just mentioned as player to watch for prior to the showcase and she sure was a standout.

Gonzalez also proved to be a reliable option for teammates looking to kick out, plus she showed she could finish against suffocating defense. Tiyara was such a critical piece for the blended squad. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
