When the opportunities occurred for her to bring the ball up the in transition she pushed the tempo with a quick crossover over dribble right to left for the layup.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>knock down jumper off the ball screen set up a nice 2 man game as the defender had to fight over the ball screen. A very solid on the ball defender that protected the top of the key not allowing a blow byes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["944129"],"_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-66e5171906922"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I had mentioned Najya in previous articles from the Showcase which are listed below. Tough point guard that has a strong skill set. Quick handles, great vision and can down down the outside shot. She will be a impact player at the point position being that she can get paint touches setting up open shots for the shooters Piedmont has. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/09/oklahoma-freshman-showcase-standouts-part-2/">Oklahoma Freshman Showcase Standouts (Part 2)</a></strong><br></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/08/get-to-know-these-oklahoma-incoming-freshman/">Get to know these Oklahoma Incoming Freshman</a></strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["874463"],"_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-66e5171906963"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A point guard on a team that already had several points. I mention that to say Sarah adjusted and showed that she can play the 1/2 positions. Nice up tempo push with great vision when she had when she handled the point on fast breaks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Good smooth shooting mechanics on the 3 point shot When ran off the 3 point line Sarah scored on a tough floater. Consistent movement off the ball as she lost her defender several times for an easy open score under the basket. First time seeing Sarah play had me searching for more coverage. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/06/dynasty-finals-14u-1st-team-all-tournament/">Dynasty Finals 14U | 1st-Team All-Tournament</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["992475"],"_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-66e51719069a0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A long 5'8 combo guard that seemed longer and taller when she played. Understood how to move off the ball keeping great spacing for her teammates. Nice outside shot knocking down couple of 3's in one of the games I watched. Impressive move is the floater off the drives. It was quick and had just the right lift where the defense could not block. Got out on breaks running the floor on giving the ball handler an option on the backside. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long defender that did a great job closing out and contesting outside jump shots. Scrappy rebounder on both ends of the court that came up couple of 50/50 balls. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":[992447],"_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-66e51719069dd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nice long 2/3 guard combo that is tough defender on the ball as she stays low and long. Great lateral footwork on ball defense kept the ball handler going side to side. Nice rotation on help defense showing an understanding of help the helper concept. Amazing hops as she grabbed several rebounds out of the air. Big hops and length was a great combo for several block shots. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Offensively knocked down the outside shot on a quick release opening up the reads to attack the paint on bad closeouts. Crashes the board for offensive putbacks. First time seeing Belle play and one that I will be watching her freshman seanson. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/09/oklahoma-freshman-showcase-standouts-part-1/"><strong>Oklahoma Freshman Showcase Standouts (Part 1)</strong></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["992443"],"_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-66e5171906a18"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Aliyah had an impressive showing this past Saturday and is in the conversation as one of the top prospects in the 2028 Class. Great size for a combo guard that could really be the main point if needed. Good reads patience on offense making good decisions all day. The shot off the dribble kept defender up and then she used a nice pocket dribble to change speeds to attack the rim. Joins older sister at Westmoore and will be a great addition to the that program.

She does not need the ball in her hands to make things happen. Moves off the ball cutting to the basket to create scoring opportunities for herself. An aggressive rebounder that will crash the boards hard to score the putback. Tough baseline driver that used her size to create space and then used her body to shield off the block. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nice mid range jumper that kept the defense honest. Showed her range as well as she knocked down several from beyond the arch. As mention she is that player every coach would like to have on their team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/09/who-are-the-incoming-freshman-part-2/">Who are the incoming freshman Part 2</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["982713"],"_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-66e5171906a8f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kate has great size for a small forward that can play the 3/4 position. Nice mid range jumper from about 15 feet out. most comfortable spot looked to be in the corners. A hard nose player that will work for her double double. Nice wide stance when posting up gives the guards and easy target to pass to. The most impressive shot was a 5 foot shot in front of the rim. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Defensively she was always in help position with her backside to the baseline making her able to see ball and man. Good solid rebounder that if could not get the board she worked to get a finger on it to keep it alive. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
