She's never been afraid to take the available shots, but over the course of the summer Ellery seems much more comfortable being assertive. The '31 wing has a very promising future ahead of her. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1767504"],"_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-6a7b28b9c0816"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1767504' first='Maia' last='Hamblett'] (2031) | CG/SG | </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Maia's Summer Draft League footage was a great indicator of how she's able to hold her own amongst competitive talent and standout. Hamblett was moving fluidly, embraced the pressure defense, helped facilitate efficient baskets for teammates plus flowingly knocked down her shots. It's become quite obvious over the course of the summer that Maia is a leader in '31. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1892265"],"_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-6a7b28b9c0878"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Remi Antunes (2031) | CG | </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A speedy 2-way impactor that has length and great instincts. Remi loves to push the pace so she can get out in transition. In halfcourt possessions, she uses change of direction throw defenders off to get downhill quickly. Antunes uses that same energy on the other side of the ball too. He constant activity causes turnovers that can be converted easily. Remi is one to watch in the class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1278761"],"_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-6a7b28b9c08d4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1278761' first='Taylor' last='Bullock'] (2032) | </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's way too early for a 2032 list, but Bullock would likely be the first name to appear if there as one. Her long frame, natural athletic gifts, alert instincts and fearlessness make her a certain difference-maker in games. Taylor moves fluidly plus she shows flashes of superior creation. Bullock is a gem with a very bright future ahead of her. She'll be a premier name in all of NE in no time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1865024"],"_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-6a7b28b9c096c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1865024' first='Leah' last='Melle'] (2030) | PG/SG | </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Melle has been mentioned a few times already this summer and for good reason. When Leah is feeling it and in her element, it's hard to contain her effectiveness. There's a lot to like about the '30 guard. She's been a gem of a find and one to keep tabs on as she continues to develop. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
