Claire Graham-5’8 SG (Platinum Basketball Bruce 2022) Jim Ned-2022
Graham put on a long ball exhibition right in front of me as I watched her drop the long ball consistently yet that comes as no surprise as she made my opening day Top Performers from last week’s Duel For The Dynasty. I knew she could shoot it but her range is even deeper than what I saw from the previous event, I tweeted “she’s dropping them from the state line” and she was, figuratively speaking but I figure that the show isn’t over
Gracy Wernli Gracy Wernli 5'9" | SG Bixby | 2023 State OK -5’9 SG (Team Griffin 2023) Bixby-2022
Wernli dropped 7 threes in front of me and 3 rimmed out, I can’t make this stuff up yet after reading what I wrote about her shooting in the 6th grade, hopefully, many will understand I DON’T make things up and watching her set the defender up smoothly and in the flow of the game and not force anything spoke volumes as she can knock it down from anywhere on the court yet she also sees the floor and gets her teammates involved
Jill Twiehaus-5’9 (Oklahoma Swift 2024) Jenks 2024
Twiehaus dropped 6 from BTA on her way to 24 points yet her ability to drop them numerous ways was impressive. She curled around a screen, she created off the dribble, if I’m not mistaken she even dropped one in transition and all of those ways are very good yet what really impresses me as well as watching the “catch and shoot” and with her quick release, you probably need to guard her when she crosses midcourt yet she showed she could take defenders off the dribble as well
