During warm-up she doesn’t do anything crazy, just a simple layup and maybe a pull-up. However, from jump, she is a best. She’s a bigger guard for her age when most are post. She drives the paint hard and can finish on either side. Krzewinski uses her size to spin of defenders,its kinds her go-to-move. It fairly unstoppable.
Hilary Behren, SD Network 2023, #34
Some players you can stamp and D1 sticker on their forehead and just wait for the development to get better. Hilary Behrens, SD Network 15U, is that type of player. She is actually an eight-grader playing up. Every game she was hands down the best player on the court. I noticed coaches standing up watching her because all the seats were gone. One game she had 30, 9-12 from the field, 3-4 from behind the arch and 9 of 10 from the free-throw line. She gave you all sorts of scoring options. Wing catches and blow by. Post ups, attacks the rim and on top of that can defend as well.
Lexi Salazar, West Suburban Dream, #1
West Suburban Dream out of Illinois has one of the craftiest players I’ve ever seen. Alexa Salazar has that, I been here before swag. While walking the ball up the court, she noticed her defender hand checking her with arms locked in a defensive stance. Next thing you know she’s pulling up from five behind the three, making contact with her defenders’ hand. A loud smack, then swoosh count the bucket AND 1! It was James Harden, minus the beard, a foot and a half shorter, oh and being a girl. Throughout the day she was pulling from deep. Hesitating player and taking pull ups after he stuns them.
