The 6'2 sophomore forward/center was instrumental in South Shore's PSAL championship run. On offense, she understands and plays the game the right way. She is active on the boards - challenging for every 50-50 ball. On the defensive end, she is a pest. Grant doesn't shy away from contact. She disrupts almost every attempt into the paint area. She constantly moves her feet, allowing her to stay a step ahead of her opponents. However, there are a few areas she could improve. She has to take more shots when they present themselves. Her unique frame is also something she needs to utilize. She needs to engage in more one on one action. Meaning more post ups u0026amp; pick and rolls. Grant also needs to attack the paint and shoot her 15-footers more. She has the tools to succeed, but is still a few alterations away. Grant will continue her development this summer with Castle Athletics. She is one to keep an eye on.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["413855"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Heckel is a name that caught the attention of scouts early. The 5'9 Port Chester native competes on the AAU circuit with Exodus EYBL and high school with Long Island Lutheran (LuHi). She is someone that has the skills and creativity to exploit the weakness in her opponents. The right-handed guard possess several qualities that has helped her excel since her first year. Physically, Heckel's speed and agility gives her an edge during fast breaks. She is also technically gifted - shooting and passing with ease. Her vision is something that isn't spoken about often. She is intelligent in possession and rarely turns the ball over. Defensively, she is alert and doesn't take plays off. Her relentless and aggressive style disrupts the flow of her opponents. She averaged 15.9 ppg, 6.3 apg and 3.7 spg with LuHi during the regular season. Heckel is a NYS AA Federation Champion. Her consistency has caught the interest of several Division 1 schools.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["472215"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Hawkins is one of the smoothest players in her class. The 6'1 LuHi forward scores effortlessly. Her athleticism gives her an advantage when she elevates to shoot. Her experience allows her to play the game at her own pace. She doesn't often force moments but creates them while utilizing her teammates' skills. Hawkins has the attention of multiple Division 1 schools. She competes for Exodus EYBL on the AAU level. She was one of the top performers at the Nike Tournament. Hawkins possesses several attributes that others don't. She score shoot the three ball, drive at ease, and break down a defense with a single pass. She averaged 9.3 ppg, 6.0 rpg, and 2.1 spg during the regular season with LuHi.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["415887"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Richards is a confident guard who excels under pressure. She orchestras everything for Hotchkiss. She doesn't back down from anyone. Richards is a player who understands what her team needs. Richards is a proficient ball-handler. She creates separation due to her crafty and unpredictable playing style. Although, she is highly talented, there are some areas that need improving. She has to let the game come to her sometimes. She often forces the final pass. It is a hit or miss but is still an area that once fixed, would take her a level higher. She also needs to be a bit more active on the defensive end. Richards is capable of playing on both sides of the ball but lacks the consistency at times. She is still a player that coaches need to monitor due to her athletic, motor, and intelligence. She received her first offer from Manhattan College this year. However, it shouldn't be a surprise when other schools reach out.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6425c848972fd"} /-->
