Highly effective from beyond the arc, shooting the three at a high clip, particularly as a spot-up threat. Preference on the wing 3 but very confident &amp; capable of hitting from the corners. Strong ball movement around the perimeter, making crisp, clean passes with a purpose. No soft or lazy passes! She consistently made herself available to score &amp; whenever defenders gave her too much space, she made them pay time after time. Very much in attack mode at all times offensively looking to create an advantage &amp; make an impact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":1896324,"_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-6a7f58cd0bc01"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Strong upper-body build and did an excellent job absorbing contact on straight-line drives &amp; baseline rips. Dangerous three-point threat, especially from the corners, while also showing the confidence to knock them down from well beyond the arc on the wings. She competed through tight defensive pressure, showing good recovery &amp; toughness; secured rebounds and putbacks. One word to best to describe her play on the S40 circuit is "fearless."</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["393469"],"_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-6a7f5ad63f38a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A fundamentally sound &amp; versatile W/F who kept defenders on their toes with her ability to attack both inside &amp; out. Very fluid in transition, making a beeline to the basket and helping create a fast-paced offensive attack. Her quickness &amp; length were major assets defensively, allowing her to get stops on steals &amp; blocks; versatility to switch and guard multiple positions, most comfortably 2-4.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":1896329,"_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-6a7f5f9500ff0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An all-out hustler! If there's someone you could count on to get stops, secure possessions and give their all, it's Olivia. Totally unafraid to dive, scrap and get banged up fighting for 50/50 balls and making winning plays. Offensively, she showed off emerging handles with a nice cross and attack to the basket and reliable shooting from 3. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1612459"],"_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-6a7f63c45f6aa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">She showed excellent off-ball movement, consistently putting herself in positions to score with quick reads, cuts &amp; curls. Reliable three-point shooter who wasted little time getting into her shot. She also displayed a smart change of pace, knowing when to push &amp; aggressively attack and when to slow down, survey and set up a play. A successful run in Kentucky by all means!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
