A player that has been playing up for her high school for years. She is a true floor general that understands how to control the game. Great decision-making skills on the offensive end and has the ability to blow by her opponents with her quick first step. A player that can score from anywhere on the floor and sometimes the only way to keep her from scoring is to not let her touch the ball. Saunders will be in conversation as one of the top 2030s in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1380780"],"_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-6a98c927cf53e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Payne is a rim protector and with strong hands.
