I've watched her since her freshman season, and she's continued improving in all areas of her game. The University of Iowa pledge handles the ball well with both hands and finishes consistently at the rim following strong drives. If the defense plays penetration, she can drain it from the outside. She's a solid defender and a strong rebounder.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["314120"],"_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":566352,"_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":"Miller impresses with her willingness to challenge taller players with aggressive takes to the basket.

She still ended up 16 points and 16 rebounds. She showed a knack for handling double teams by passing to open teammates from the high and low post instead of forcing up shots with extra attention on her. She's a powerful presence under the basket and features a silky looking shot in the mid-range.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":566369,"_player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"Olivia Miller","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2023","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"5'5u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"12121","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"Clear Creek Amana","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_4_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Miller took advantage of the extra attention being paid to Locklear. The crafty senior guard recognized what Solon was doing and cashed in, netting nine of her game-high 18 points in the first quarter.

She impressed me again in this game as a bright rising star on the hardwood. Lower is a high-level, quick-twitch athlete. On the basketball court, she features a smooth, complete game. Her shooting form is picturesque, she handles the ball with well with both hands, can get to the basket and finish, and defend and rebound with her long arms and height. The future is incredibly bright for this young lady.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":7,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-639a09b26ff6d"} /-->
