City Is Mine NYC Top Performers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The PSAL and CHSAA season tips off before we know it, and City Is Mine Pre-Season Tourney gave us a good early look at who's ready for the spotlight. Here's who caught our eye this past month at an electric tournament.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1831483"],"_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-6af6927aa512a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The MVP, and likely locked up her spot as the best player in the state's 2029 class and as one of the best in the nation. Thomas is a gamer. She shoots it from deep with elite mechanics and a lightning-quick release. She has the ball on a yo-yo, can change direction on a dime, and knows when to flip the switch and take over a game. Her court IQ and vision are off the charts. She can score off the dribble or catch-and-shoot, explodes off ball screens well, and plays at her own pace. She doesn't take plays off on defense either despite being undersized. She was the best player on the floor, and it wasn't close, as she led her team to back-to-back titles. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["926441"],"_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-6af6927aa518c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Atkins is strong, tough, and plays hard every possession. She gets downhill and finishes through contact, and she'll make you pay if you leave her open on the perimeter. When the lane's clogged, she kicks it out or finds somebody running the floor. Defensively, she can guard just about anybody. She's strong enough to hold her ground and quick enough to stay in front. Atkins is set to play with Murray Bergtraum alongside a loaded roster set for a deep playoff run, and she committed to George Mason last week. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1004100"],"_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-6af6927aa51df"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Syracuse got a good one. Pinnock is strong, plays aggressively, and is a gamer. Contact doesn't bother her, and she'll finish through it. She likes to get out and run, and can really pass the rock. She'll find you from anywhere on the floor. She rebounds, she's physical, and she gets after it on defense. Christ the King is set for a deep playoff run this season with Pinnock leading the charge. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["934102"],"_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-6af6927aa5236"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bissett is one of the top players in the state's 2028 class, and she went head-to-head in an epic matchup of two of the top players in the Catholic League. She's a bucket-getter, a score-first guard with unlimited range. Her jumper is pure and can sling it from anywhere on the court. She's not just a shooter, though. She reads ball screens well, threads her passes right where they need to be, and has good instincts on the defensive end. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1868616"],"_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-6af695460b24f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Scott-Bush is strong, long, and versatile, using her frame to create mismatches no matter who's guarding her. She handles it well, and her development has hit a rapid pace. She changes speeds to get open and slice her way to the basket. Once she gets going downhill, she attacks hard, stays balanced through contact, and gets creative around the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
