She plays with maturity beyond her years, understanding how to play the game the right way while remaining poised within the team's offense. I was extremely impressed with her perimeter shooting, but even more impressed by her ability to break down defenders, attack the paint, finish off one foot, and create scoring opportunities for her teammates. Murray is highly skilled with the ball and an impressive passer who can deliver through traffic.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1255361"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1934769,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6aca73d4dbcb2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Day 1:</strong> Cordova had a strong opening-day performance. She was clearly the team's floor general, running the offense with confidence and control. As an elite combo guard, she's a solid perimeter shooter who can also attack the paint and finish at the basket. A strong on-ball defender, she creates havoc for opposing guards. Her high motor lets her make an immediate impact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1891783"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1934766,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6aca73d4dbcdd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Day 1:</strong> Fowler set the tone in the post, creating mismatches with her versatilties. Her impressive outlet passes sparked instant transition offense. Defensively, she altered and blocked shots with ease. Offensively, she used her athletic  6'4” frame to finish over defenders, attack smaller guards, showcase excellent footwork in the post, and ran the floor well after securing rebounds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1934760"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1934764,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6aca73d4dbd02"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Day 1:</strong> Swills brought the energy from tip-off, using her 6'1” frame to create mismatches on both ends of the floor.

An impressive, streaky shooter who hit shots from beyond the arc. She makes the hustle plays and rebounds well from the guard/forward position.
