Program Spotlight: Bluestar St. Louis 2022

This article is a nod to the talent of 2022 BlueStar St. Louis team, their talent and heart are noteworthy. Make note of these names this summer, they will be a couple to keep your eyes on. <strong>Reilly</strong> <strong>Brophy</strong> | 2022 G | Westminster Brophy is one of those guards that you love to play with and hate to play against. While she is 5’6, she has a solid build that allows her to be an effective point guard. She is a true floor general with great court vision both in the open court and in a set. Her decision making coming off ball screens is fantastic. Her quick shot allows her to shoot behind a screen and her high IQ allows her to read her defender and distribute the ball to accordingly. She’s a talker, a leader, and a distributor. &nbsp; [player_tooltip player_id="107987" first="Carlie" last="Vick"] | 2022 PF| Westminster Christian High School One of the first things you notice about Vick is her length and she uses every bit of it to her advantage. She stands at 6’2” and is truly an asset to her team. She can stretch the defense out with a beautiful shot from set feet, anywhere on the three-point line. She also has great post footwork and a variety of moves in her bag. She has a reverse pivot jumper, up and under, as well as a beautiful left hook. Easy to say she’s a threat on offense but she also does the effort plays, she runs the floor well, crashes the boards hard, and is a great rim protector. There’s no doubt that Vick has a bright future in basketball. &nbsp; <strong>Ally</strong> <strong>Fitzgerald</strong> | 2022 PF |Marquette High School The first thought I had while watching her was that she was a shorter midwestern, Sedona Prince. At 6’4”, She is an extremely effective rim protector that will block anything that comes her way from the paint to the three-point line. Fitzgerald is an effort player that combines hustle plays with finesse. Her effort allows her to lead her teammates well. She has great footwork on the block with moves going over both shoulders. She can also put the ball on the floor and score from the perimeter. She has great mobility and plays hard every single play. This kid is going places. &nbsp; [player_tooltip player_id="168749" first="Elle" last="Evans"] |2022 PF| Edwardsville High School The first thing you notice about Evans is her length and her ability to shoot the ball. She is a lanky 6’3” who has a consistent 3-point shot with a quick release. She can put the ball on the floor and get a midrange pull up off effectively and has the IQ to differentiate when to pass and when to take it for herself. She is also a great shot blocker, hungry to defend the rim. A true threat from both ends of the court. She runs the floor hard and doesn’t make many mistakes. She’s a leader and a hustler. &nbsp; [player_tooltip player_id="168750" first="Macy" last="Silvey"] | 2022 SG/SF | Edwardsville High School Silvey (5’9”) is a three-level scorer. She can put the ball on the ground and get to the rim effectively, uses a hesitation and her off hand to get past defenders. She can finish at the rim or make a dish pass for her teammate to score. She reads the defense extremely well. She can shoot the skin off the ball as well. One of the quicker releases I’ve seen. Her footwork leading into her shot is extremely consistent and allows her to make shots from anywhere, off the dribble, off a cut, or off a screen. She is very effective offensively.
