Starred on both ends of the floor as a sophomore (19ppg, 3spg, 2bpg). <strong>Wiley</strong> makes sound decisions in the pick-n-roll. Excels in transition. Turns defense into offense. Beats you off skill and instinct. Excellent burst with the ball in her hands. The lefty stroke looks beautiful. She will put up numbers as a junior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1262221"],"_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-6aec1b4db3a32"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">All-Bay Area 3rd-team as a sophomore. Dynamic guard with breakout potential. One of the top shooters in the region. 9 games with 3+ made threes last year. <strong>Emma</strong> is a blur with the ball in her hands. Moves well off-the-ball. Always a step ahead of her opponent, literally and figuratively. The quickness, shot-making ability, and IQ immediately stand out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1553749"],"_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-6ad212f1046a2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Breakout candidate with length, skill, and versatility at the guard spot. Quick and decisive with the ball in her hands. Played some of her best ball against top competition this summer. <strong>Tatiana</strong> can spread the floor, get downhill, or set up the half-court offense. Scores the ball on all 3 levels. Cardinal Newman will be the favorite yet again in the North Bay Oak League. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1262200"],"_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-6aec1b4db3acc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the highest ceilings in the junior class. Can't miss frontcourt prospect with length and athleticism. Division 1 size, skill, and feel. Her best basketball is still ahead of her. Plays with force inside! Moves her feet and protects the rim. Crashes the offensive glass. Soft touch around the basket. <strong>Jordan</strong> will be THE X-FACTOR for Cardinal Newman this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1262210"],"_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-6aec1dc91c302"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Polished wing who can handle, create her own shot, defend, and facilitate. Few players can matchup with <strong>Terrazia</strong> on the perimeter at the high school level. Good speed in the open floor. Crafty ball handler who can get to her spots on all 3 levels. Averaged nearly 19 per game to go along with 3 steals as a sophomore. High-upside prospect who should be on your radar immediately!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
