This kid is an absolute problem in the paint! She isn’t a giant, but she plays much bigger than she is. She quite simply outworks everyone on the boards. If she’s not gobbling up the boards, she’s keeping it alive or preventing a clean rebound for the opponent. She’s not just a hustle player though, she showed plenty of skill. She has much softer hands and better footwork than you normally associate with all out hustle kids. Her defensive fundamentals are really solid as well, she stays low and wide, moves her feet and stays active. Team defense awareness is very high as well.

It’s tough to overlook the fact that someone hit a game winner from 25 feet, but with Evelyn, she does so much throughout the game, that it’s kind of easy. The way she orchestrates the offense when she in, playing at the exact pace and function that is needed at that moment, especially considering it’s always changing, is very impressive. She always seemed to know exactly when her squad needed a bucket, including the two baskets that tied this game late and won it at the buzzer. She has that ability to hunt her baskets and get something at any time to give her squad a spark, or tonight, a win!

Love this kids combination of athleticism and skill. She really truly gets after it. She showed the ability to take a board or a steal to the house pretty quickly, and an abilty to finish in transition at a very high speed. I appreciated that she never leaked out, she took pride in helping finishing possessions before she took off on the break. She rebounded and battled on the boards, made several hustle plays and never stopped giving max effort.

Smallest kid on the court a lot of times, if not all the time, but she’s a firecracker! Has good tight handles and plays with an intensity that is paramount for a kid her size. She has a very quick pull on her jumpers, and hits with some consistency. She shoots with confidence, and don’t need much space, and can really hurt some defenders pride with some of the deep bombs she hits in peoples face.

Jacaia is the never ending spark plug. She flies around and looks like’s she always having fun. Her athleticism is off the charts, witch allows her to make so many impactful defensive plays. She’s not only making defensive plays though, she’s turning them into points and helpers for her teammates every time you turn around. She’s an absolute pest in any pressure defensive situation, with speed and vertical ability to spare.
