Much like her sister, she could be her own double-double factory in points and rebounds, rolling them out like she's mass producing them. Ella is long and athletic with excellent footwork on both ends of the floor. She can be found playing with Wisconsin Flight Elite EYBL.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["615163"],"_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":"Dickens has a ton of upside and an already impressive skill set. She uses her length to rebound the ball high and is a big plus on the defensive end. She's shown continued improvement with her ball handling and jumper. If she continues to progress in these areas, the sky could be the limit for this talented young player.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["621320"],"_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":"Waverly had a really nice team this past season and Scott was a very nice piece of it. She used her freshman season to show a diverse and well rounded game. It really looked like she could defend anywhere on the floor and rebounded bigger than her height. There's a lot to like about where this young athlete's game could go.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["615944"],"_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":"Higginbotham is that type of post player that very few people really like to play against. She's physical and can really body opponents in the paint. Higginbotham has the strength to get this done at a high level too. Her strength and physicality can earn her some high percentage looks at the rim.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":"","_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6435de613a4eb"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
