Midseason Awards-Power In The Paint

I'm going to break this one down to help those who don't understand, first, these are players I have personally seen, I'm sure there are others floating around yet the numerous showcases and camps I attend not to mention games are how I come up with my logic and with the abundance of non-logical stuff floating around on social media, I try and will always keep it real as these 8 have done in front of me this season &nbsp; [player_tooltip player_id="65876" first="Jada" last="Malone"] Malone has just completed her game offensively over the years, yeah she can handle the ball in the open court, shoot the three in transition or take the midrange jumper but watching her attack the basket and finish, especially after contact, has been impressive not to mention the numerous putbacks from offensive rebounds [player_tooltip player_id="97626" first="Bre’Yon" last="White"] White is one of the best finishers from the wing, she's strong and powerful and uses her athleticism nicely bt the novice evaluator or fan might miss the way she "creates contact" while attacking the basket, this falls into throwback and watching her set the defender up has been a treat, well te mid to long-range as well [player_tooltip player_id="97930" first="Taylor" last="Jackson"] Jackson will be on the "Most Improved" list whenever I feel like putting it out there but watching her this year has been different. Yeah she always fought rebounds and had the attempts but she's putting the ball in the basket numerous ways on te inside, with both hands and running the floor finishing on the break [player_tooltip player_id="65914" first="Sa’Myah" last="Smith"] Smith and Lesson is what she's giving and her poise was always something that impressed me but coming back from a knee injury and doing what I've watched her do was a "drop the mic" showing because she understands how to take the defender, her touch is soft and accurate around the basket but she maneuvers nicely and scores with either hand on the [player_tooltip player_id="96925" first="Shelby" last="Hayes"] Hayes is what would fall into the "fundamentally sound" post player of yesteryear that had "good hands and footwork" so I definitely get a kick out of watching her score facing the basket just as much as her finishing after contact, sometimes falling down yet she's powerful and she can punish as players hang on her as she scores [player_tooltip player_id="202478" first="Aniah" last="Hall"] Hall may not be related to Arsenio but she's been a hit this season as well and she too would be on that "Most Improved " list of players Her size in itself will command looks from D1 programs, that's common sense, her aggressiveness as she "BATTLES" for everything off the glass and finishing will generate numerous offers, I know the algorithm and she's about to blow up <strong>Tobi Ademuwagun-6'0 SF/SG sophomore</strong> Ademuwagub was tagged #BEAST by me over the club season and the countless SHOWCASES I caught her dominating. She reacts and does things instinctively and I've seen  few players go after the ball off the glass-like she does in this era and finish after contact. She's athletic and powerful and elevates over taller players to score and her adding the mid to long-range and handling the ball in the open court will raise eyebrows [player_tooltip player_id="158862" first="Justice" last="Carlton"] Carlton is no ordinary freshman, she started the season sending messages, either telepathic or Western Union, does that still exist, nevertheless, it worked, well so did the numerous 30 plus point games. She squares up and scores on either side of the rim, with either hand, contact is irrelevant because of her strength as she can score with ease as defenders  climb up with her as she elevates
