Uncommitted 2021s: 3A Guards

The Charlotte area is blessed with an amazing talent of basketball players. These 3A athletes are still available from the class of 2021. [player_tooltip player_id="208368" first="Emerie" last="Tillmon"] | Cox Mill Tillmon continues to impress me each time I get to see her play. She has a high IQ on the court knowing exactly where to go with the ball whether she is driving to the basket herself, or she is finding an open teammate. She has an arsenal of moves that she can use to create separation between her and her opponent whether she is using a fake, jab step, or a hesitation move. She knows how to get by defenders. She can handle the ball and score from all over the court, and she is always prepared to make her move when she gets a pass from one of her teammates. She can track the ball on defense, too, jumping into passing lanes for steals that quickly turn into fast breaks for her team. She knows how to move to the basket to grab a rebound as well. Serenity “Pinky” Webb | Central Cabarrus Webb is a player who can seem to fool you with everything she has. She does an excellent job using hesitation moves to her advantage to blow by defenders to score her own basket or to find an open teammate. She isn’t scared to drive the ball against any kind of contact that may wait for her close to the basket. Her ability to blow by opponents is a weapon for her to step back and show off her jump shot as defenders try to adjust their position guarding her. She is a terror on the other end of the court grabbing steals from her opponents and picking the pockets of the other team when they try to get by her. China’Ra Cherry | Central Cabarrus Cherry is a scorer and shows why she is a shooting guard that adds a lot to her teams. She can shoot from all over the court, especially from behind the three point line. She does a great job using various moves to create separation between her and her defenders. Her ability to always be ready to shoot makes her a threat at all times. She has good length that she can use on defense to jump into passing lanes and make it difficult for other guards to see around her. These steals quickly turn into fast breaks as she can push the ball up the court with ease. [player_tooltip player_id="208369" first="Jael" last="Hall"] | Concord First Assembly Hall is a guard that you want on your team as she is someone who knows how to truly protect every possession. She moves fluidly with the ball whether she is moving with speed or using her arsenal of moves to get by defenders. She can score all different ways by using floaters, lay ups and reverse lay ups, or jump shots. Hall has an ability to make three point shots with hands in her face and even contact coming right at her. She also tracks down the ball crashing the boards for rebounds looking for second chance opportunities or to end the possession of her opponents. Her IQ translates well on defense, too, with her ability to jump into passing lanes and prevent other teams from scoring or getting a play going at all.
