Jasmine Twitty (Lady Royals 17U, 2022, pictured above) runs the floor well making sure she’s available on fast breaks, and she knows how to score some old fashioned three point plays in transition. She is aggressive when grabbing rebounds no matter who her opponent is. She showed her IQ knowing exactly how to handle situations after she dove on the basketball regaining possession.
Aaliyah Balser (Carolina All-Stars, 2022) grabs rebounds and immediately finds her outlet to push it up the court for some fast break points. While running the court in transition, she fills the lanes perfectly looking for the pass to score. She finds the gaps on offense, too, ready for an entry pass to show off her moves and earn her points. She had a nice defensive play sliding in front of her opponent drawing a charge to take over the possession.
Bree Spainhour Bree Spainhour 5'10" | SF West Stokes | 2022 NC (Surry Storm, 2022) tracks the ball showing off her shot blocking ability. She makes nice cuts to the basket with the ball scoring floaters or taking it all the way to the hoop. She scored some clutch three pointers towards the end of a close game showing her versatility all over the court.
Trista Charles Trista Charles 5'11" | CG Oak Grove | 2025 State NC (Team Curry 15U UAA, 2025) already has some good length on her using that to cause problems on defense and to score some points near the basket. She has a nice shot from deep that she knows how to show off at just the right times giving her team some life. She definitely has an exciting future ahead.
