Pierson gets her third Tip Sheet from me, and yes, I see the “on the court” progression each time I catch her. I love seeing players in different settings away from their school and/or club teams because I’m a REAL EVALUATOR and certain things the normal eye might not catch. I definitely caught the spin move while she was attacking the basket to score; her body control after contact also looked good. She gave me the “catch and shoot” and since she’s a “long and athletic” guard, she applied solid defensive pressure that led to turnovers

Pierson gave me a glimpse of what was coming at the Tyrone Johnson Showcase last season see evaluation here but she is also attacking the basket better, using either hand and finishing stronger. Her defense in the set has gotten better, well “on the ball” baseline to baseline also looked good, as did her playing the passing lane

Pierson understands how to create her shot under pressure, but she also takes good shots, and when you factor in that she can attack from multiple spots on the court to score or dish, that’s a plu,s but an even bigger plus is watching her drop it from outside ala “catch and shoot”
