<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I usually cover only one day yet a few players were not in attendance as they were taking the SAT so the SIM will be back for SIMINATOR Sunday. I have info on everyone, be patient, if you took a picture, I got ya so here ya go</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["951472"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":977511,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-66ca702ab35f6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lane showed me I wasn't seeing a mirage as she captivated me with an outstanding July performance. It's almost like I could say "Hey Alexa, show me something different" and other than the mid to long-range jumper, scoring off the dribble, even the "catch and shoot" from deep, she through touchdowns the length of the court in traffic </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["718995"],"_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-66ca702ab3655"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Roberts has always been able to shoot the ball, so watching her create and drop under pressure has been a treat for me, with a hand in her face. She also gave me the catch-and-shoot to go with blowing by defenders and scoring off the dribble. I told her how impressed I was with her "on the ball" pressure as it has shot up, plus she played the passing lane</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["874880"],"_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-66ca702ab3698"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Omolola was one of the Top Performers last weekend at <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/08/2028-starting-new-chapter-whosnxt-pt-1-2/">#WhosNXT</a></em></strong> and let me say this, her ceiling has no roof after seeing what she did today and that's a good thing because of her UPS because she might hit her head. Well she hit the "stop and pop" yet watching her explosiveness and powerful finishes had me SMH plus she rebounded and went coast to coast </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["764288"],"_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-66ca702ab36d5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bookman is so active without the ball and she understands how to get open to receive the pass and drop the jumper. Well, she also understands how to create her shot under pressure and drop it with a hand in her face. The "stop and pop" looked good, so did the "catch and shoot" yet her timing and "on the ball" pressure stood out, so did her going after rebounds</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["894535"],"_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-66ca702ab3712"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Delafosse is becoming a nightmare to defend because she's a "long and athletic" guard who is handling the ball like a yo-yo and peep this, her zig-zagging by defenders to score was on display, she even finished with either hand, off-balance, and after contact. She dropped the jumper, saw the floor, and played the passing lane and applied "on the ball" pressure</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["856169"],"_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-66ca702ab374f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Teuton is about to become one of the top PGs in the city, all classes included, and here's one of the reasons. She helped her team make a run in last season's playoffs, pulling off some big upsets but get ready to be more upset because she's seeing the floor through a microscope and threading the needle in traffic. On top of that, she is scoring or dishing off the dribble and drops the jumper</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["977502"],"_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-66cde43e91142"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Vanderford gave me a glimpse of her progression during the 1 on 1 skill by creating her shot from outside, yet she went over the top during the games, I'm talking about rebounding on both ends and blocking shots. Her interior defense was solid, she even stepped out and applied "on the ball" pressure. Her "hands and footwork" was plus, so was her "catch and shoot" from outside </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
