She's a physical player and has the strength to back it up. Smith doesn't mess around near the rim and actually plays better with contact. She's a versatile player that can effect the game from inside and out. I'd expect Smith to be on many recruiting boards during this season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["716472"],"_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":"Williams has an impressive game and she brings it to the floor every time out. She's a versatile player that attack from mid range. Williams can shoot and score in traffic and finds open space. She's not just a scoring threat as Williams in an underrated passer that can hit a teammate in stride.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["735330"],"_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":"Gills slid under the radar a bit this high school season, but she had herself an excellent season.
