The Expo: DMV Two-Way Impact Players

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Making an impact on both ends of the floor requires more than simply putting points on the board. At The Expo, these 6 players stood out by pairing their offensive contributions with defensive activity, whether pressuring the ball, creating turnovers, rebounding, or turning stops into offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["916308"],"_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-6ab2bdc1a7682"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">King rebounded on both ends and looked too create offense once she secured the ball. She showed good hands defensively by deflecting an overhead pass and was ready to find an outlet off defensive rebounds, while also showing the ability to handle the ball herself in transition. Offensively, she added another dimension, stepping out to the perimeter and knocking down the three.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["984926"],"_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-6ab2bdc1a76be"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Person used her length effectively on defense, staying disciplined with her arms straight up and making it difficult for opponents to shoot over her. Her active hands were on display when she blocked a shot and immediately advanced the ball up the floor to run defense into offense. The play brought energy to her team, as her defensive effort helped generate momentum going the other way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1693436"],"_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-6ab2bdc1a76e2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Davis showed a well-rounded offensive game, knocking down threes off movement and relocation while also creating space off the dribble to attack the paint and finish at the rim. She moved well without the ball, cutting down the middle to receive a pass-back for a layup, and showed she could facilitate, rebound, and push the ball herself in transition. Defensively, she pressured the ball and forced mistakes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["874473"],"_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-6ab2bdc1a7702"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Smith delivered on both ends during a key sequence, first knocking down a clutch three to provide offense for her team. Rather than staying back to celebrate the shot, she immediately hustled to the other end and came away with a steal. That sequence highlighted her ability to make an impact offensively while remaining engaged and active on defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1258083"],"_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-6ab2bdc1a7720"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnson showed an aggressive offensive approach with a strong take to the basket and also looking comfortable hunting shots from the perimeter. Even when the shot did not fall, she generated good looks and showed the confidence and mechanics of a capable shooter. She complemented that offensive ability with strong defense, applying pressure and helping force turnovers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["984283"],"_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-6ab2bdc1a773e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Srinivas made an early impact by knocking down a three to start a game and remained active on both ends of the floor. Defensively, she used good hands and played the passing lane well, denying her matchup and deflecting a pass intended for a cutter and also boxing out and positioning herself for weakside rebounds. On offense, she stayed involved by passing, cutting, and making herself available for the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
