She has a silky-smooth stroke on her jumper and can score efficiently from the perimeter. Hailey also uses her length well when attacking, taking long strides to get past defenders and reach the basket. Her ability to score at the rim, in the mid-range, and from three makes her a true three-level scorer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1249693"],"_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-6a9dc049affda"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ellie has been playing well with her high school team throughout their summer league games. Her floater game has especially stood out, as she consistently gets into the paint and converts it at a high rate. Ellie also has high-level footwork around the basket and uses moves like the Euro step to work around defenders and create better finishing angles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["934106"],"_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-6a9dc049b004f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Emma completely balled out in a recent game, finishing with 28 points, 17 rebounds, 11 assists, and five steals. She got to the basket with ease and proved extremely difficult for any defender to contain. Emma also plays strong once she gets downhill, embracing contact and finishing through bumps around the rim. Her ability to contribute across the board was on full display with her huge stat line.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["981908"],"_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-6a9dc049b00b0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Meso recently announced that she will be joining Masters Academy International for her upcoming junior season. She sees the floor well and consistently sets up her teammates for easy baskets. Meso can finish at the rim herself while also being a knockdown three-point shooter who can hit shots in bunches. When she gets into the paint, she keeps her eyes up and does a great job kicking the ball out to open teammates when the defense collapses.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1267391"],"_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-6a9dc049b00f7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Victoria has stayed busy this summer, visiting schools and receiving offers from programs including Union, Brandeis, and D'Youville. She finishes well through contact and can turn strong drives into and-one opportunities. Victoria is also a knockdown spot-up three-point shooter who can't be left open for even a brief moment. Her range extends beyond the arc, as she can comfortably step a few feet behind the line and still knock down shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
