The Fall Exclusive: Week 2 Stock Risers <img class="size-medium wp-image-208323 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/10/Capture-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /> Below is a list of stock rising athletes from week two of The Fall Exclusive. Kyla Hendricks | Bay Port | 5’6 G Hendricks displayed a high level of handles during the Fall Exclusive. She does well running the offense and is beyond comfortable with the ball in her hands. Not many people can pick-pocket her because of her low center of gravity, so she can virtually dribble for however long she pleases before finding an open window. Hendricks is crafty inside, shown by her creative floaters and runners. Her tough proved to be soft and she had a great shot selection as well. Shiauna Nixon Boyd | Riverside | 5’8 G <img class=" wp-image-210049 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/10/ANTIONIQUE-AUSTON-12-scaled-e1602107885344-300x235.jpg" alt="" width="186" height="146" /> Nixon- Boyd continues to impress and put on a show each week. She’s super crafty and has a bag full of moves to pass the defender and finish inside. She does an excellent job of drawing the foul as well. Her handles continue to improve and her confidence with the ball is very high right now. She does well going downhill and changes speed very effectively. She pushes the tempo and is a vocal leader as well. <img class=" wp-image-210146 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/10/SOPHIE-HAFEMAN-72-scaled-e1602096483144-300x234.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="156" />[player_tooltip player_id="209614" first="Sophie" last="Hafeman"] | De Pere | 5’10 G Hafeman has a long body with a tall vertical reach; she moves with long strides, allowing her to cover a lot of ground quickly. Hafeman has advanced guard skills for her size- she’s able to handle the ball well in the half court and transition. She has a decent shot from midrange and deep. She seems to be getting more comfortable with creating her own shot on the perimeter. Hafeman stood out for her energy on both ends. She consistently gives 100% and did not back down from any defensive matchup. <img class=" wp-image-210083 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/10/JAMERA-BEAN-131-scaled-e1602106557441-300x268.jpg" alt="" width="191" height="171" />Jamera Bean | Milwaukee Lutheran | 5’5 PG Bean is the definition of heart over height. She finds so many effective ways to contribute and will have no problem adjusting at the next level. She is consistent, plays with exceptional pace and does well play-making for herself and her teammates. She makes some very tough baskets on the floor and doesn’t limit herself to a typical point guard role. Bean utilizes a very quick release that is super tough to stop and very effective. <img class=" wp-image-210095 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/10/KATIE-WAUKAU-25-scaled-e1602106031807-300x234.jpg" alt="" width="179" height="140" />Katie Waukau | West De Pere | 5’7 G Waukau is a highly athletic guard with a high ceiling. She has impressive explosiveness on the court as well. She’s improved greatly at shooting off the dribble, especially her jump shot. Her ability to create her own shot has gotten much better, and that will serve her well at the next level. Waukau will throw her body into contact, get on the floor and scrap for the ball, and sacrifice for the team. She is super physical and looks for contact when attacking the lane. I saw a glimpse of play making that was exciting to watch, she clearly has a well developed basketball IQ. <img class="alignleft wp-image-191247" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/07/Auston-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="153" height="204" /> [player_tooltip player_id="156058" first="Antionique" last="Auston"] | Sun Prairie | 5’6 G Auston is one of the best decision makers in her class. A playmaking guard who can facilitate and score, Auston is such a tough matchup. She sees the floor so well and has court vision on both ends. Auston pounds the ball and always has her head up and on a swivel. She draws much attention from the defense, so naturally her teammates open up, and she has the skill to find them. Auston moves left to right very quickly. As a shooter, she is balanced into her jumper. She rises quickly off the dribble. <img class=" wp-image-210071 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/10/EMILY-JAENKE-69-scaled-e1602106969656-300x198.jpg" alt="" width="189" height="125" />[player_tooltip player_id="156096" first="Emily" last="Jaenke"] | Fox Valley Lutheran | 5’10 SG Jaenke has an absolute clip from long range. Jaenke is definitely the smoothest perimeter shooter in her class and has been consistently impressive each game. Jaenke’s spacing and movement on the floor is unbelievable- her understanding of how fast she needs to play against certain players is impressive. She dissects the defense with masterful offensive moves. She is phenomenal at creating her own shot off the dribble and off the catch. She effectively utilizes different jabs to throw the defender off balance. The second that she gets any room for a shot, she rises up into her form and knocks it down. Great mechanics that can only be made from hours in the gym. [player_tooltip player_id="132350" first="Chloe" last="Dallas"] | Wauwatosa East | 6’1 F Dallas is a tough forward that will be taking on an important leadership role this season for her Tosa East squad. She is a strong player that uses her body well in the post. She does well moving opponents off the ball when guarding them down low, and she is skilled at obtaining offensive positioning. Dallas displays a high level of maturity and skill on the floor and understands her role on both ends.
