Hazel Green Tip-Off Tournament: Top Wings

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I had the opportunity to attend the 10th Annual event hosted by Hazel Green high school. Several talented teams from across the state were in attendance making for some very competitive head to head matchups. Big thanks to Coach Tim Miller and staff for the invite and hospitality during the event. The talent on the floor was definitely worth the drive.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There were several impressive guards highlighted in the <a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2022/11/hazel-green-tip-off-tournament-top-guards/">Hazel Green Tip-Off Tournament : Top Guards</a> evaluations. Now we're turning our focus to a list of wings that caught my eye during the weekend. Check back tomorrow as I take a look at some of the impact posts from the event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_636a569e93fd9","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["330688"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":543943,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cspan data-sheets-value=u0022{u0026quot;1u0026quot;:2,u0026quot;2u0026quot;:u0026quot;She was impressive as the lead guard.

Her skillset leans more towards a big guard than a small post and she uses her size to her advantage. Her ability to break the press kept her team in the game. Even under heavy pressure she showed good awareness, great vision, and skilled passing. She found open teammates all over the floor and had a very good command of the dribble. Her ability to defend in the post and rebound in traffic is why she's considered a wing. She has the intangibles and mentality to be a versatile player and she demonstrated that. She plays a very clean game with good energy and effort. The UAH commit will add value from day one.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["323402"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":543945,"_player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003cspan data-sheets-value=u0022{u0026quot;1u0026quot;:2,u0026quot;2u0026quot;:u0026quot;Tamya was the best player on the floor when she was in the game.

She only took what the defense gave her making the right decision on just about every touch. She is a great slasher but has a consistent jump shot that is most effective on catch and shoot opportunities from inside and outside the three-point line. Her scoring ability around the rim was impressive. She has a variety of ways to get her shots to fall and used short mid-reange jumpers, floaters, and crafty layups alike. She is a good rebounder from the perimeter and also defends well where her athleticism shows the most throughout the course of the game. She finished with a triple-double of 11 points, 15 rebounds, and 11 steals in her first game of the event.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_player_details_selected_featured_image":543961,"_player_evaluations_5_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_5_player_details_player_name":"Jillian Baine","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_5_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_5_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_5_player_details_position":"12124","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_5_player_details_school":"Brewbaker Tech","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_5_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_5_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_5_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"u003cspan data-sheets-value=u0022{u0026quot;1u0026quot;:2,u0026quot;2u0026quot;:u0026quot;Operated as the lead guard on most possessions.
