She's a player who simply gets the job done without all the extraness. She's crafty but not flashy, simple but highly effective when she's being used in a possession. Near the rim, she has a soft touch that's paired with a high motor and a ton of energy. She's at the top of her position for a reason. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["728003"],"_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-695024f3295f9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Fisher is an interesting prospect.

The IQ and ability to defend 1-3, and give the 4/5's trouble are major reasons why she is a two-way threat. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
