Insider Exposure held a huge tournament full of talent in Charlotte, NC including some 2021’s still showing off their talents. Here are some of those standouts. [player_tooltip player_id="206401" first="Josie" last="Hester"] | Charlotte Dream Elite Hester will be taking her talents to UVA-Wise next season, and she will be bringing an amazing shooting percentage with her. Coming off the bench, she seemed to give her team some life hitting shots that her team needed to stay in the game. She does well moving around the arc to find the open areas to show off her shot, and she knows how to facilitate plays allowing them to fully develop. She sees the floor well finding her open teammates to get them involved, too. Tionna Jackson | Team Loaded NC Jackson uses her length to cause problems on defense. She has a nice jump shot that she knows how to show off by finding the gaps in the defense. She also sees the floor well finding her open teammates underneath the basket to get them a bucket. She can certainly block shots well, too. She picks the pocket of her opponents and takes it the other direction for some points. [player_tooltip player_id="116881" first="Diamond" last="Thomas"] | Team Loaded NC Thomas (pictured above) was one of their main ball handlers, and she shows why with the way she can push the ball up the court with ease. She can shoot from behind the arc, too. She follows shots going after rebounds making sure her opponents don’t have a second chance for some points. She does an excellent job moving to the outlet spot after a rebound and blowing by her opponents for some points on the other end. She will be taking her talents to North Carolina Central. Montasia Jones | Fayetteville Stars Jones uses her height to grab steals and make sure any opponents have trouble getting the ball by her. She plays very tight defense making it difficult for her opponents to get anything going on offense. She has a nice midrange jumper. She pushes the ball up the court with speed and makes perfect passes to her teammates moving up the court for some fast break points. [player_tooltip player_id="217549" first="Ke’Onna" last="Bryant"] | Fayetteville Stars Bryant uses her moves to create separation from her opponents and show off her jump shot. She is aggressive when driving the ball to the basket. She knows how to get into position to score making sure her guard teammates have an easy entry pass to get to her. She moves well with the ball throwing off her opponents to show off her shot, and she moves well without the ball finding the gaps in the defense.
