Mini Film Breakdowns: Part 1

With the current basketball atmosphere here in Michigan, film has become an even more valuable tool for both players and coaches. We’ll look at clips that feature some of the talented high school basketball players in the state. After we watch the film, we’ll do a mini breakdown of each player. <h4><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="147785" first="Kalin" last="Bates"] (2022, G, Livonia Franklin)</strong></h4> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/13999241/5fc9abc71762381308f5da99">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/13999241/5fc9abc71762381308f5da99</a> - Very comfortable shooting off the catch, especially off of kick out passes and off baseline inbound plays - Tough straight line drive to the right side, fending off defenders with her left shoulder - Likes to pressure the ball on the perimeter - She’s not afraid to hit the floor for a loose ball <h4><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="227321" first="Lauren" last="Nemens"] (2022, SF, Sterling Heights Stevenson)</strong></h4> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/14103648/5e62c5e8e985241b8c109f45">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/14103648/5e62c5e8e985241b8c109f45</a> - Fills in nicely on the wing in transition where she can pass or score, whether finishing at the rim or stepping out for a triple - Physical defender that isn’t afraid to initiate contact - Very comfortable shooting and passing on the left side of the floor - Can score from all 3 levels - Brings energy to the court <h4><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="28042" first="Brooklyn" last="Robak"] (2021, SG, Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes)</strong></h4> <a href="https://vimeo.com/408064323">https://vimeo.com/408064323</a> - She has a quick and controlled shot off the catch - She catches the pass balanced and shot ready - Can take a defender either way off the dribble and finish with either hand - Definitely underrated as a passer - can hit a teammate on the move in the open floor, whip it around the perimeter, or hit a player in the paint with a post entry - Jumper is dangerous from both behind the arc and from mid range <h4><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="147746" first="Lauren" last="Sollom"] (2022, F, Hartland)</strong></h4> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvtB5edBa5w&amp;feature=youtu.be - Uses her length on defense to disrupt the passing lanes - Creates a ton of turnovers off deflections - She has one of the premier offensive mid range games in the state - Good court vision helps her with some nice post entry passes - She effects the game is so many different ways &nbsp; &nbsp;
