She's using her athleticism on both ends, and her<strong> "on the ball" </strong>pressure is better yet watching her use a deceptive first step to attack or attacking strongly to score looked good, so did her spin move in traffic to finish </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["977502"],"_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"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68aef2b902731"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Vanderford has also made quite a few of my <span style="margin: 0px;padding: 0px">tip sheets; <a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/adarra-vanderford/" target="_blank"><em><strong>see evaluations here.</strong></em></a> One</span> thing that impresses me the most is that she strives to get better and hasn't settled. She's more aggressive inside the paint, scoring, rebounding, and defending, yet she also scores facing the basket, and her pull-up jumper is creating problems. She also showed the spin move off the dribble, but her finishing with either hand had me smiling</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1309023"],"_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"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68aef2b902782"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Smith grabbed my attention immediately because she's <strong>"long and athletic" </strong>and I focus a lot on that profile because it's the <strong>BASE.</strong> I saw that over and over. I love being repetitive, yet she does as well, and her showing me she could defend inside and outside the paint was one thing, but coming from out of nowhere to rebound or block shots was another. She also scored off the dribble and dropped the jumper</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1309024"],"_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"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68aef2b9027c9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kinard also caught my eye, well, eyes early because she's a<strong> "long and athletic" guard,</strong> and that too is the<strong> BASE.</strong> She scored off the dribble multiple ways, and her handling of the ball under pressure was nice, yet seeing her go behind her back instinctively in traffic told me a lot. Her body control on her finishes, after contact included, was nice, so was her first step. She also showed good court vision and applied defensive pressure <strong>"on the ball"</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
