Freshman Showcase: 3-on-3 Holding Down The Paint

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I mentioned earlier how the 3-on-3 games are improving, so that's a positive, as I assume more players are playing and learning to comprehend things on their own, so here are some players who gave me glimpses of what they may become</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1217107"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aa9280d7db44"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Allison continues to be a must-see for me every time, and hitting double-digit<strong> Tip Sheets</strong> from me before her first high school game is huge <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/isabella-allison/">see evaluations here</a></em></strong>.

She also scored off the dribble, first step was nice, and has solid body control after contact, and her interior defense looked good, so did her "on the ball" pressure </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1349462"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aa9280d7dbfd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">O'Dell had me thinking, <strong>"Oh, well,"</strong> as her name preceded her, but since I've been using Dell for almost 40 years, she showed me she understands how to use defenders. She has the double whammy of being <strong>"long and athletic"</strong> and standing above<strong> "the magic number," </strong>which means she will be a draw for next-level coaches on the circuit with that alone, She moves fluidly on both ends, has solid timing on defense, scores off the dribble, and dropped the midrange</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1835917"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aa9280d7dc47"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pace has the right last name because she continues to show me a high ceiling; <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/taniah-pace/">see evaluations here</a></em></strong> As much as I love seeing the "hands and footwork" because it's from another era, she also gives me another <strong>#THROWBACK</strong>, which has become a lost art, follows her shot!

Watching her do a variety of things that remind me so much of yesteryear had me smiling. She understands positioning to out-rebound taller players. She beats the offensive player to <strong>"the spot"</strong> and makes them pick up their dribble, but her <strong>"hands and footwork"</strong> to finish multiple times <strong>"dropped the mic" </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
