Sophomore ID Camp: Lasting First Impressions

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The blueprint for me has been simple since I started doing this, and it's <strong>"show up to be seen and perform,"</strong> yet others have always found ways to try to manipulate and misguide with confusing rhetoric, even they don't understand so I caught some players who set it off for me in a big way on my initial sighting </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1220774"],"_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-6ab65d6098712"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Price is a <strong>#THROWBACK</strong> player who is nowhere near the magic number yet plays as if she is. In another era, this was abundant, with players understanding positioning to outrebound taller players, as well as using their frame to score around the basket. She also attacks the basket hard and finishes after contact; she saw the floor, played solid defense, and also played the passing lane</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1358734"],"_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-6ab65d609874e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Yearian was listed with another number, yet the switcheroo couldn't fool the 67-year-old, as I had to ask her who she was. Her defense<strong> "on the ball"</strong> as well as her timing to block shots, had me smiling; plus, she played the passing lane well, and I love seeing that. She set the defender up using a deceptive first step to score off the dribble and showed solid body control on her finishes; dropped the jumper, and her court vision was solid</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1922771"],"_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-6ab66767ec5c4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hoellen's name preceded her, as her club coach told me he had a player I needed to see, and voila, in the<strong> 3-on-3,</strong> she proved him correct because she was<strong> "long and athletic," </strong>a couple of shades under<strong> "the magic number" </strong>yet her <strong>"on the ball" </strong>pressure was sometimes smothering. Her intensity on defense continued when the bright lights of the <strong>5-on-5 </strong>started, as she hit the boards on both ends; scored off the dribble, gave me the pull-up jumper, and played the passing lane</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1235797"],"_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-6ab66767ec5f8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Robinson does a good job of creating her shot under pressure by either blowing by the defender in the set, or dropping the jumper using the step-back. Her<strong> "catch and shoot" </strong>was nice, as was her court vision in the set as well as in transition, and when you factor in that she falls into that #sizedontmatter group, her<strong> "on the ball"</strong> pressure was another plus</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":[1928881],"_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-6ab66767ec635"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kantar was another<strong> #sizedontmatter</strong> guard who pressed several buttons, starting with her defense, and her<strong> "on the ball"</strong> pressure never let up. She did a good job handling the ball under pressure, as well as making decisions on who to give the ball to and when to give it up. She also scored off the dribble and dropped the jumper from outside </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
