PGH Wisconsin The Expo Team Eight Evaluations: Part Two

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Expo was in the books, and we saw a talented crop of players who headed into Appleton through the fog to play basketball on Sunday. Over the next week or so, we will look at the high school players and highlight what they brought to the floor during the 5v5 portion of the event. We had over 80 players at the Expo, and we will highlight what each did to stand out in their minutes. Let's talk about Team Seven.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["874552"],"_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-6ac7c29d18c74"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Mayville native is a well-rounded guard who elevates the players around her. Christian is a willing passer who can handle the ball under pressure and read defenses. She does a solid job of getting into the paint and forcing defenses to rotate to keep her from getting layups. Once she does, she does an excellent job finding open teammates on the perimeter. I liked how comfortable she looked with the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1308138"],"_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-6ac7c29d18cde"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Albany native is one of the more intriguing talents in Wisconsin's 2029 class. She's a rangy 5-11 wing who can impact the game on both ends of the floor. Offensively, she's at her best when she can get to the basket, and does so in a variety of ways. Butts can attack off the dribble and beat her defender off the dribble, work with her back to the basket against mismatches, and score off offensive rebounds. Defensively, she's a versatile player who can guard multiple positions on any given possession.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["903203"],"_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-6ac7c29d18d31"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Kenosha native is a guard who can elevate her team's offense. Gonzalez can play either backcourt role and help make winning plays. She sees the floor well, makes quick decisions with the ball, and forces defenses to rotate. She has the skill set to keep her offense flowing and generate open looks for herself and her teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1882028"],"_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-6ac7c29d18d84"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The forward from Western Wisconsin has the size and length to stand out. Brandenburg has a solid motor and uses it to make plays defensively. She is also a confident finisher around the basket. She can finish with either hand and moves well away from the ball. I also like how well she understands spacing, and it helps her get open layups. For a post who mainly operates in the paint, she doesn't clog up the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1227765"],"_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-6ac7c29d18dd4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Waukesha native did all the little things well in Appleton. She had active hands defensively and generated live-ball turnovers as an on-ball defender. She moves her feet well and kept her assignment. I also liked how well she protected the ball when she had chances to make plays off the dribble offensively.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
