An elite level athlete with explosiveness. She has great speed and strength to score downhill as well as a soft shooting touch. A fierce competitor with athleticism and skills. She is a star in the making. Another in a long list to play for Garfield. She has an older sister and brother who played 4 years of Division 1 basketball and she is rumored to be the most dynamic of the three. She has a few good mentors to learn from, most notably [player_tooltip player_id='279612' first='Katie' last='Fiso'], the 4 star guard with 3 state titles in three years. Julianna is among the most talented players in the class of 2027. Keep an eye on her in the future.

She displays a lot of creativity with the basketball, using step back jumpers and change of pace to set up the defense. She handles the ball well and can finish with either hand around the basket once she gets by the defense.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["689455"],"_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":"Brooke is another player who seems to back up the fact that girls basketball is changing. She is a guard at 6'2u0022 and not yet to high school. Rumor has it that she is the real deal. The class of 2027 does not lack for talent.

She joins an already good Skyview team next season. She could be an immediate impact player, making Skyview even more of a threat for a post-season run.

She gets after it on both ends despite being undersized. She has great shot mechanics with a tight shooters pocket and should develop into a consistent threat from three, possibly an elite shooter. Her toughness and quickness makes up for the lack of size to make her effective on both ends of the floor.
