Dodging and vision are the standout signals: coaches described her first step as elite and noted she reads the field two passes ahead. Mindset signal is uniformly positive across coachability, composure, compete level, and communication, all at maximum intensity.
Coaches described her first step as elite: she blew by her defender on every dodge and beat her mark off the split every single rep. Vision was called out repeatedly: she sees the field two passes ahead and hit the skip on time. Took a correction and applied it on the next rep; organized her group without being asked. Favors her right hand: predictable dodging left.
Sees the field two passes ahead, hit the skip on time.
