Top 250 Expo: Best 2021 Passers

There was a lot of talent in the building for the Minnesota Top 250 and with over 190 players it was tough to stand out. However, there were quite a few players in the 2021 class who shot the ball very well. Below I take a look at the five players who I saw shoot the ball the best. Next up we will take a look at the top defenders that I saw at the event. <hr /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="2098" first="Katie" last="Borowicz"] - 5’7 PG - Roseau HS</strong> Borowicz stole the show at the Expo with her passing ability. She made everyone around her better and was able to pass her teammates open so they could score. She has a great feel for the game and was able to push the ball up the floor quickly and distribute. She is a player who can do so many things well on the floor but it is highlighted the most when the ball is in her hands. <img class="alignnone wp-image-208579 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/10/24_Katie-Borowicz_1-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /> <strong>Sakhia Howard-Reynolds - 5’10 F - Columbia Heights HS</strong> Haward-Reynolds was a player who I had seen a little of before but on Saturday her passing ability really stood out. She was playing around the basket and showed the ability to pass the ball out when the defense collapsed. She used pump fakes with the ball really well and kept the defense off balance when she had it because she was able to either score or pass to an open teammate. <img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-209128" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/10/44_Sakhia-Howard-Reynolds_1-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /> <strong>Anna Koth - 5’10 F - Wayzata HS</strong> Like Howard-Reynolds, Koth was able to get the ball on the inside or in the mid-post and direct traffic very well. She has a good feel for the game and showed me that she is able to get her teammates in spots to score the ball with passes. She was able to dump off quite a few nice balls for cutting teammates giving them an easy layin. I came away very impressed with Koth’s passing ability, as well as her overall game. <img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-208543" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/10/91_Anna-Koth_1-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="109809" first="Adi" last="Brown"] - 5’11 G - Lakeville South HS</strong> Brown has improved a lot since I last saw her last year and with the development of her skill set her passing has also gotten better. She is not one to come out and drop perfect passes all over the defense but she knows how to facilitate the ball. Did not force any passes and knew where to get the ball. She was very good in transition as she whipped the ball around to teammates as they ran up the floor. <img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-208551" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/10/119_Adi-Brown_1-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /> <strong>Aliyah Wensel - 5’5 PG - Park Center HS</strong> Wensel was one of the 2021 standouts from the event and a big part of that was her ability to pass the ball around the floor. I thought that her ability to get into the teeth of the defense and then pass the ball out was outstanding and a big reason as to why her team had success at the event. She’s a lead guard who can really do it all and her passing ability was a big part of her game at the Expo. <img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-209224" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/10/191_Aliyah-Wensel_1-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /> Top photo: [player_tooltip player_id="2098" first="Katie" last="Borowicz"] driving the ball
