DMV’s Interior Prospects Poised to Impact the High School Season

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Any team looking to make a deep run into the playoffs, no matter which level will need a dominant inside presence. The schools who have the privilege of jerseying these ladies are ready for their deep run, this upcoming season. Baltimore's DMV Showcase, hosted three 6'0 plus bigs who have different but effective skills and are just getting started.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Bodyguards:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>6 feet rising freshman way ahead of their time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["964209"],"_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-6a94c08a8eca8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Totiana is no joke once she has two feet in the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>She is scrapy and full of energy with quick a bounce off the floor to win most rebounds on either end. Her endless motor allows her to get back on defense quickly when the ball is in transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Offensively, Miller showed the best shot of all the bigs as she will soon be able to hit that mid range, short corner shot when the ball is swung her way. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1818304"],"_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-6a94c08a8ece8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cirina has gained more confidence around the rim since I've first seen her play at the P.G. County Middle School All-Star game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ms. Lee was the more traditional center at the showcase having strong hands to receive the entry pass with her back to the basket, then able to feel the defense and spin opposite of the late help, to finish under pressure.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Look for Cirina to get early playing time under Coach Cabria who also develop Cirina's toughness to command the paint at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1900026"],"_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-6a94c08a8ed0c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tahlia is a ball-hawk near the rim as there weren't a lot of missed shots where she didn't have a fight for the ball and those she did not win...she remembered and went harder next time down the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Most impressive was her ability to handle the ball in the traffic well enough to find her teammates. On one occasion, she looked to be trapped in the corner but was able to dribble out of it by getting to a low cross back to the middle of the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On the block, Tahlia tucked her defenders with ease standing at 6'2" and strong, there's not much a anyone could do.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stock Riser:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Zuri can play anywhere on the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1733720"],"_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-6a94c08a8ed2d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zuri was low key my favorite of the day.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>She can play a multitude of positions which will come in handy during her high school season. Her physicality around the rim and willingness to play smart defense in the open court is what stood out the most. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tisdale can also hand the ball effectively and score inside the arc with finesse or body. One play stood out when she was coming downhill, then was picked up at half court as she was coming to slow jog while reading the defense. Zuri, smoothly crossed her defender then side stepped creating space and knocked down a long jumper, with ease.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
