Talented Players to See at the PGH Wisconsin State Tournament

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Yesterday, we looked at some of the talented 17U prospects along with some under-the-radar talent to see this coming weekend in Appleton, and tonight we'll look at some of the talented kids who will likely thrive this weekend. There are a handful of players who have the tools to be some of the standout performers this weekend, and let's talk about a handful of them.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["874404"],"_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-6a18fcdca9a57"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Notre Dame guard earned a prominent role for one of the traditional powers in high school basketball in her first season, and did well within it. I thought she got more confident throughout the year and had an excellent stretch in her team's State Semifinal game. Cumicek is a talented perimeter shooter who can make things happen with the ball in her hands.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1753992"],"_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-6a18fcdca9aa1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I may be most excited to see the La Crosse native this coming weekend in Appleton. Apuan is a talented athlete who looked much different the first time I saw her this AAU season than when I saw her last summer, or on stream during the high school season. She showed an ability to create with the ball in her hands and had more burst than I ever expected. I only saw her for a half in April, but it was enough to make her a kid I've been waiting to see again for almost two months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["881307"],"_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-6a18fcdca9aca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I've liked the Milton guard for a while, and have always loved the edge she plays with on both ends of the floor. Buttchen is a player who can take a game and force everyone else to bend to what she's doing in the best way possible. She can score from all three levels and can get to her spots whenever she wants. However, her ability to defend at the point of attack and force opposing guards out of their rhythm can change the course of a game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["874389"],"_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-6a18fcdca9aec"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I feel the Thompson I saw in January is not the same player I saw a few months ago. The Bay Port forward played some of the best basketball I've seen her play in New Berlin at an earlier PGH event, and she looks more comfortable being the player she is than she has ever been. The more physicality she brings to the frontcourt, the better she will be in the long run, and she plays with a chip on her shoulder and seems to be taking every matchup she has as personal as ever.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
