She is insanely talented, being able to do it all on the court. She handles the ball at an elite levels, gets down-hill easily using her plethora of moves to get open, and even knocks down shots from all over the court. She really does have that "it" factor, being a player coaches can build around and produce an solid team. I am excited to see her junior year next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["584118"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66760aa44f44b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jaryah finishes well down in the paint and can finish through contact down low. She is strong when boxing out oppoising players and going for rebounds off the glass. She runs the court well and sets very solid screens for her teammates, always rolling hard down the paint. I expect McGriff to have an even bigger season next year with her game likely being more well rounded.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["502381"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66760aa44f48c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kayleah unfortunately missed last season due to a major knee injury but has been rehabbing in order to get back on the court. Hawkins was fantastic as a freshman, averaging 12 points a game and filling her role for the team perfectly. I think she dominates next season while finally being back to fully healthy. She is patient with the ball in her hands and has great vision on the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["584239"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66760aa44f4c9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mills has phenomenal footwork down in the paint, backing down defenders with ease and knows how to utilize her post moves to get open shots. She grabs the ball high off the glass, being physical when grabbing the ball too. Mills rolls hard down the paint but can also pick and pop while consistently hitting the deep shot for the Lions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
