Well, that trend continued at the Top 250. She was a high influence player that did a lot of the 'dirty work' that leads to team success.

She was sturdy in the paint and used her strength to establish position. Smith was almost unmovable when she got set on the block and she showed that she can be a go-to offensive post threat with over the top post feeds. Smith was in constant communication with her teammates on both ends of the floor.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["589743"],"_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":"Rickli showed off a really nice game at the Top 250.

She certainly didn't disappoint. In fact, she showed exactly why high level or highly ranked prospects should be in the Top 250.
