<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>More videos have been sent my way, so let's take a look at what we have this go around.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["774923"],"_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-69ea6f3f50fbc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ballard has shown much growth this season, and it's been seen in her ability to play six rotations. She brings a more dynamic and assertive presence to the court, showing the ability to make impact plays. First contact is solid, with enough control to maintain offensive flow, but it's the offensive upside that stands out most. This season, Ballard has showcased a fluid, confident arm swing, generating clean contact and scoring in rhythm. Movement looks more explosive here, allowing her to play faster and more aggressively in transition. Her ability to score on both pins has been noticed. With continued refinement and consistency, this is a player who shows clear potential to develop into a higher-impact offensive contributor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["911937"],"_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-69ea6f3f5105e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This southpaw right-side shows a confident, composed presence, bringing added value with the ability to hold their own in serve receive. First contact is steady and controlled, helping keep the offense in system. Offensively, the lefty delivers a clean, natural arm swing, creating a different look and consistent scoring opportunities from the pin. An area of growth to continue watching is her play at the net defensively. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["758464"],"_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-69ea6f3f510ea"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Blakeman brings a steady, fundamentally sound presence to the court, highlighted by consistent first contact and the ability to keep the offense in system. She shows good control and timing offensively, delivering clean swings without rushing, though adding more arm speed and shot variety will elevate her scoring ability, just based on the highlight I watched. Decision-making is composed and efficient, leaning toward high-percentage plays rather than forcing action. Athletically, movement is smooth and controlled, with added explosiveness being the next step in raising the ceiling. Overall, as a 2028 player, we see a strong foundation and clear potential to grow into a reliable contributor at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
