TTO Open Run Players to Watch

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I did a drop by at the TTO open run and was impressed by the talent that came for the workout. Athletes from different programs came through to get skill work and compete against their peers. Some players rose to the top and caught my attention. Here are some of the impressive players that were on hand.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["962766"],"_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-6aabd65a9065e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Audrey was pretty much flawless throughout the open run. I didn't see her miss a shot, and she consistently made excellent passes, finding teammates in position to score. She showed really good ballhandling ability as well, using nice fakes to create openings and keep defenders off balance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Audrey is on the smaller side, which is more noticeable during drill work, but once the live action starts, she seems to play much bigger. Her skill level, confidence, and command of the game allow her to take over stretches and make a major impact on the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1819883"],"_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-6aabe182e7a08"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brooklyn has pretty good size and the ability to handle the ball effectively in transition. She attacks well in halfcourt sets and was able to use her strength to overpower most defenders in one-on-one situations. She also knocked down a mid-range jumper off the dribble, showing another layer of versatility in her offensive game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I didn't see her attempt a three-pointer during the open run, but with her touch and developing perimeter skills, I can see that becoming another weapon in her bag in the future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1856004"],"_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-6aabe182e7b01"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kennedy had good size and matched up well against the other post players. She also moved her feet well when drawn away from the basket, showing the ability to defend outside of the paint. Offensively, she was able to attack from both the high post and the wing and get all the way to the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Defensively, Kennedy used her size and length to alter shots in the paint. She also ran the floor well without the ball, putting herself in position to be effective in transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1280244"],"_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-6aabe182e7b76"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sienna reeled off multiple three-pointers throughout the day and did a good job running the point guard position. She showed an unselfish approach, at times passing up open shots to get her teammates involved and put them in position to score.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After being encouraged to shoot when she was open, Sienna responded immediately by knocking down three consecutive three-pointers. The impressive shooting stretch earned her high fives from coaches and other players heading into the break. She showed that she can facilitate the offense while also being a dangerous perimeter scoring threat.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1861214"],"_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-6aabe182e7bc3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Anna used her body well to finish through contact and showed a good shooting touch from different ranges. She played with a lot of intensity, and her energy helped create a competitive atmosphere as the players around her began to step their games up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>She was consistent throughout the day, knocking down shots during both the drill work and live-game action. Her combination of toughness, shooting ability, and competitive energy made her presence felt throughout the open run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
