Day 2 New and Old Faces #TJShowcase pt 2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's part 2</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Charlotte Crockett (SWEAT) 2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Crockett attacked the basket strongly, nice body control on her finishes but she also set the defender up to make things happen. Her court vision was solid, in the set as well as in transition, and her "on the ball" pressure was also solid. She falls into that #sizedontmatter group and her finishing after contact was impressive which is why she gets the cover</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Iman Xu (SWEAT) 2028</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Xu is "long and athletic" which is and always will be the base. She did a good job attacking the basket from multiple spots and finished after the lick. She played solid defense and hit the boards on both ends</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Theresa Bell (SWEAT) 2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bell kept ringing loud and clear as she too was a #sizedontmatter guard who showed she could play. She handled the ball and saw the floor under pressure and her deceptive first step helped enable her to attack and dish or score</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Marlie Maldonado (SA Vipers)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Maldonado showed she didn't mind applying full-court pressure on the ball but her defense was also good in the set. She saw the floor, both in the half-court as well as in transition and she scored off the dribble</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='880726' first='Addison' last='Perez'] (SA Vipers)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Perez did a good job creating her shot while being defended yet just as importantly, she also created separation to get her shot off. She attacked and scored from various spots and also showed she could drop the jumper ala "catch and shoot" </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Lia Salinas (Laredo DCBA) 2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Salinas also did a good job creating her shot under pressure and she too showed she could "catch and shoot" it. She also dropped the "stop and pop" in transition but her jumper in the set while being defended was also nice </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Brianna Flores (Laredo DCBA) 2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Flores scored off the dribble after attacking the basket with either hand and her body control after contact was also nice. She also faced the basket to score and saw the floor both off the dribble and in the set</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Renata Dominguez-Castano (Laredo DCBA) 2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dominguez-Castona understands positioning which was key to her rebounding on both ends of the court. She got the outlet going, she finished around the basket, putbacks included and she also faced the basket to score. Her defense was also solid </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
