#1 [player_tooltip player_id="36676" first="Dyamond" last="Butler-Worley"] 6’0 2020 PF Shadow Mountain Dyamond is a super versatile player and has a ton of size and speed to match. I tossed back and worth on if she should be on the SF or PF list but ultimately decided PF. I think her speed will greatly set her apart at the 4 spot. She has all of the tools and physicality to play the 4, add in her speed and overall versatility and you have a dangerous 4. #2 Valerie Van Dijk 6’0 2020 PF Bella Vista Valerie is another very versatile player. For the same reasons as Dyamond, I chose to list Val as a PF not a SF. I think she is more than capable of playing SF but think she will really thrive at the 4 spot. She can be a stretch 4 who can also bang down low with bigger bodies and get boards. Val has great size and strength to her. Her frame will really allow her to do damage on the boards. #3 Makayla Holthaus 6’1 2020 PF Ironwood Ridge Makayla can be a huge difference maker for a team. She has really good size and is pretty athletic. She can hit the open jumper or go to the hole. She put up good scoring, rebounding, and defensive stats this last season. I think that is a really showing of all the things she can do for a team at the next level. #4 [player_tooltip player_id="135694" first="Liz" last="Cruz"] 6'0 2020 PF Casteel I think Cruz could potentially turn into a really good college player. She has really good athleticism and a really good frame. At the high school level, I think most people think of her as an undersized C but she is definitely a PF, in my opinion. She has shown that she can knock down mid-range shots as well, so that only adds to her overall game and impact. #5 [player_tooltip player_id="135695" first="Zakiirah" last="King"] 6’0 2020 PF Hamilton King is a solid PF who can do some really good things for your team. She can play solid defense, run a little bit in transition, and can score on the low block with great efficiency. King is also very strong and has a good frame as well. She could turn into a very good college player!
