Through AAU, her constant high-motor energy greatly affected the outcomes of games. There're also some flashes of point-forward ability and even though she isn't fully there yet, there's a lot to be excited about. Janae has the potential to be a staple name in the class for years to come. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1256006"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6af82702f0d4a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1256006' first='Siena' last='DiTocco'] (2029) | CG | </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>DiTocco is a name that shouldn't be overlooked. Despite being a smaller guard, she still finds ways to make the defense shift. There's soft touch on runners in the lane, solid anticipation skills and she's extremely quick operating in semi-transition or getting the break started. Siena should be a '29 to follow. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["975765"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6af82702f0d6e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='975765' first='Zareia' last='Colome'] (2028) | CG | </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Colome is a natural scoring guard that can be incredibly potent when give the keys to create. On the hs scene she has the greenlight and simply put, the team is going as far as she can carry them. There's not many that carry the gravity she does. Zareia should be a name to circle in RI this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2002202"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6af82702f0d8f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2002202' first='Maija' last='Banks'] (2031) | PF | </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Banks is a new discovery that's been awfully impressive.
