Look, she's over<strong> "the magic number"</strong> she's <strong>"long and athletic" </strong>but watching her do things instinctively on both ends, coming from out of nowhere to rebound and block shots <strong>JUST DID IT</strong> for me, yet her <strong>"hands and footwork"</strong> coupled with her upside spoke volumes. Let me also say she defended both inside and outside the paint</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1215540"],"_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-6a57c7f57ebf9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Oaks is one of those <strong>"Tip Sheet waiting to happen" </strong>players because every time I catch her, I know I'm in for a treat <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/alexia-oaks/">see evaluations here</a></em></strong>.

She also finishes acrobatically after contact, her court vision is solid, and she drops it from outside</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
