She knocked down threes with a repeatable and clean shooting form. And got after it on the defensive end with scrappy defense. She's an aggressive on the ball defender, who uses her feet to step to hound the opposition into giving up the ball. Miller is a no stranger to winning, as she has been part of back to back Class 6A State Title teams. And because of that knows how to star in her role. Which should be very appealing to college programs looking to add depth. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1325502"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1891938,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6a6d5320685ee"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top athletes in Oklahoma, Gates is also blessed with a huge wingspan. Has made huge strides over the last year, becoming a player capable of hitting spot up jumpers and also finishing with either hand around the rim. Makes some impressive moves around the rim with her hang time. Still appears to be only scratching the surface of her potential, and could really take off under the tutelage of the right collegiate program. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["913548"],"_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-6a6d53206863c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Richardson was a reliable scoring threat for one of the best 16U teams in the country. Showed improved strength and toughness as a finisher through contact. And was consistent from the three point line, shooting at improved rate compared to Las Vegas. Consistently get hers in the flow of offense, making the right pass on drives. Or the extra swing to an open teammate or help with a ball reversal. The fact that she's played a lot of big time basketball has stood out and she looks ready for a huge junior season for the Racers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1891832"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1891941,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6a6d5320686a1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">All Bixby does is produce guards who know how to play, and Neffendor is no different. She's going to hit open shots and be tough around the rim. While also checking the little boxes. Communicates on the defensive end, especially when helping on screens. The best example of this came when she helped to trap hard on a screen, then still got back into the passing lane to steal the pass to the roller. She scored well in the game watched, but it was clear the she akes an impact that goes beyond being a scorer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1835707"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1891947,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6a6d5320686fa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brown is a quick and very productive guard for Legynds' EYCL squad. She was always finding her way to the rim, where's she a great finisher for her height. Isn't just speed either, knows when to stop, pump fake and step through for scores. Plays with a quiet confidence and swagger, which allows her to thrive against bigger foes. Is a bet on production guard for the right college program that plays an up tempo style that utilizes feisty smaller guards. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
