Her shot selection and mechanics were sharper with a quicker release and a fluid stroke. She's also grown more polished running the show, making quicker decisions and getting to the basket to finish through contact with more intent. Her playmaking has progressed equally, showing vision to find the best shot, whether that's scoring it herself or setting up a teammate.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":1886053,"_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-6a67353682e87"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Simeon is athletic, high-motor, and plays physical with high-level basketball IQ. Good rebounder on both ends of the floor. Makes the extra play when her team needs it. Good 1-on-1 defender with the ability to guard all five positions. Offensive game is developing, but has good shooting mechanics and feel around the basket. Lots of upside. Likes the mid-range jumper and running in transition for easy buckets.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1862030"],"_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-6a67353682f39"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Birmingham has size, plays physical, and can facilitate for teammates. She was active during the weekend, letting it fly from behind the arc at a high clip. Birmingham is a versatile, elite rebounder on both ends of the floor who pushes the pace in transition and follows her pass. She has fluid shooting mechanics and is an accurate shooter with good jump.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["868365"],"_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-6a67d03c8fc2c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Volmer runs the floor and protects the rim while playing with a lot of confidence. She showed good footwork in the paint and a solid mid-range jumper, with a nice touch around the basket, quick and lateral footwork, and the ability to finish with either hand. She's a good rebounder on both ends of the floor, always looking for the easy putback.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":1892749,"_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-6a71eed63a8c2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Masser is competitive, athletic, and high-energy, playing physical, slashing to the paint, and creating her own shot from anywhere on court. She has a good handle and great vision, setting up teammates on kick-outs, and a competitive makeup to match. Defensively, she brings it every possession: physical, quick laterally, and active contesting shots without fouling.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
