Hines has been evaluated by me several times, see evaluations here, yet I wanted to dig even deeper when she was in elementary school to show what I saw, see evaluation here. She falls into that “never takes a play off” group, and her defensive pressure was smothering at times, but watching her dive on the floor for loose balls

Hines made my 3 on 3 Top Sheet see evaluation here, and she continued to use her athleticism on both ends of the court. Her first step was a problem for defenders as she blew by them to score off the dribble, yet she also showed speed with the ball, SWB, in transition, while staying under control under pressure. She saw the floor across the board, dropped the pull-up jumper, and continued to dive for loose balls and apply “on the ball” heat

played great on both ends of the floor. Offensively she scored on all three levels throughout the whole weekend. She knocked down shots off the dribble, off the catch and pushed the ball in transition to get easy layups in the paint. Defensively she used her quickness to stay in front of opposing ball handlers keeping them from scoring on her easily. She gives it her all whenever she is on the floor.
