<p class="p1"><b><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/07/Tiir-Nyok-scaled-crop-1921x1261-1627488011.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-311595 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/07/Tiir-Nyok-scaled-crop-1921x1261-1627488011-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></a>[player_tooltip player_id="235207" first="Tiir" last="Nyok"] | FBC Carolina Elite Adidas Adams | SF</b></p>
<p class="p1">Nyok was showing off her athleticism scoring the basket in a variety of ways whether she was jumping high for rebounds, or she was driving the ball to the hoop blowing by her opponents.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>She plays like there’s a magnet in the ball only attracted to her hands, but we all know that’s her work ethic being a ball hawk on both ends of the court.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>She can shoot well from deep, and she constantly moves around on offense finding the best areas for her to contribute for her team.</p>
<p class="p1"><b>[player_tooltip player_id="116898" first="Senali" last="Moss"] | FBC Carolina Elite Meadows | CG</b></p>
<p class="p1">Moss (pictured above)<b> </b>was present all over the court moving constantly on offense and crashing boards on defense.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>She is dynamic with her moves to the basket showing patience and understanding of timing.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>She jumps into passing lanes using her length to cause deflections.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>She makes smart decisions in transition knowing when to pull up for her jump shot or take it all the way to the hoop.</p>
<p class="p1"><b>[player_tooltip player_id="266086" first="Nadia" last="Dial"] | Lady Attack Elite | SF<a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/07/Nadia-Dial-scaled-crop-1921x1261-1627488060.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-311598 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/07/Nadia-Dial-scaled-crop-1921x1261-1627488060-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></a></b></p>
<p class="p1">Dial continues to impress with her ability to run the floor, post up on the block, and show off her range shooting.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>She turns and shoots no matter what kind of contact may be in her way.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>She reads her opponents’ bodies as they are defending her.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>She even pushes the ball up the court finding her open teammates.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>She can certainly block some shots as well.</p>
<p class="p1"><b><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/07/Ioanna-Giannopoulou-scaled-crop-1921x1261-1627488111.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-311601 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/07/Ioanna-Giannopoulou-scaled-crop-1921x1261-1627488111-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></a>[player_tooltip player_id="219884" first="IoAnna" last="Giannopoulou"] | Charlotte Dream Elite | PF</b></p>
<p class="p1">Giannopoulou’s team has been riddled with injuries, and she continues to show that she can do a little bit of everything to step up.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>She was showing off her dynamic ball handling driving the ball down the middle of the paint and putting up nice floaters.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>She battled through contact making some old fashioned three point plays.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Her cuts were effective when getting her opponents off of her on their press as she pushed the ball up the court.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>She fought for rebounds following shots knowing where they would fall off the rim.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>She was constantly cutting in and out of the paint with her hands up looking for a pass.</p>
