Plays passing lanes with good timing, quickly turns defense into offense (sick no look touch pass to start the tape). Head on a swivel, either probing to find space for herself to score or set up her teammates. Definitely a great "best foot forward" video, that makes a viewer want to follow up to see Lawrence in live action or a full game online. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["331835"],"_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-669aa4e14f29a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><a href="https://x.com/NoLookMedia1/status/1813642469315350932">Film Watched</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A great highlight video that paints the picture of a complete and athletic guard. Shows Smitherman covering lots of ground on defense for close out blocks, deflections and general outstanding instincts and tenacity. On offense, she's looks a smart passer, which goes well with her ability to get easy paint touches on drives. Swiss army knife guard, who can fill up the stat sheet. Complete with an impact that goes beyond just the numbers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["636746"],"_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-669aa4e14f2fe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><a href="https://x.com/KhaliaMoore2026/status/1814236408619344216">Film Watched</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A few clips that get to the point; Moore knows how to operate out of the post. Good mix of patience and decisive play. The patience to know when to pass out and hit teammates. Or when to attack by using her quickness and long arms to quickly score. Good mentality to go with the obvious good physical traits that make her a rising colligate prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["923038"],"_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-669aa4e14f35c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><a href="https://x.com/365hoopselite/status/1812888782217056494">Film Watched</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Physical post presence, who looks to check a lot of the fundamental boxes by running the floor hard, good footwork/feel as a roller and keeping the ball high to finish quickly and efficiently. Showed the ability to operate in the 8-12 foot range in the mid-range. The right kind of "attitude" with a swat on defense. Good blue collar forward prospect, who should be set for a productive year in eastern Oklahoma. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["924533"],"_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-669aa4e14f3ba"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><a href="https://x.com/365hoopselite/status/1812884313903374568">Film Watched</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Good work in ball screens, either finding the space or letting the defense commit and make the right read to set up teammates. Looks to be a consistent knock down threat when left open from three. Epperson is now a small town name to monitor in the Class of 2026. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["736607"],"_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-669aa4e14f41a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><a href="https://x.com/Kara_Casteel13/status/1813917705411469762">Film Watched</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's always good when a highlight tape is able to convey an aspect like "she isn't afraid to get her nose dirty". Which is exactly what highlights of Casteel at Run for the Roses does. While there's some offensive success in the tape, the meat of the highlights are focused on defense. And even good, competitive rebounding for a smaller guard. She jumps passing lanes, has quick hands and in general looks to get up the good kind of trouble as a havoc causer on defense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["846989"],"_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-669aa4e14f476"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=shared&amp;v=-JRDTEmnZZU">Film Watched</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Great highlight tape from Run for the Roses, showing that Robb has great fundamentals as a scorer. Plays out of triple threat. Jab step, then drilling threes. Quickly gets downhill, good footwork to avoid defenders then great understanding of angles to lift shots over out stretched arms. Plus finishing with both hands. Complete with unselfish transition passing and good vision in the halfcourt. Very promising skill level set up for Robb to finish her high school career strong with the Lady Panthers before potentially playing collegiately. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
