Freshman Showcase: Solid Decision Makers Who Saw The Floor

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One thing I always look for is the little things, whether passing along useful information that goes over the heads of some off the court or watching difference-makers doing things that don't always necessarily show up on a stat sheet or score sheet. I'm good at breaking things down, so catching heady players always impresses me </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1810625"],"_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-6ab5255563f9e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Collins was poised under pressure at both handling the ball and seeing the floor, and when you factor in that she was playing up <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2026/09/middle-schoolers-show-up-and-out-at-freshman-showcase/">see evaluation here</a>,</em></strong> what she was doing was even more impressive and it speaks volumes about her upside</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1921314"],"_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-6ab5255564008"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Heskew crossed the state line and showed one of my old sayings that I hope doesn't offend anyone: <strong>Oklahoma is still OK</strong>.
