ATL SummerSlam: Standouts

<strong>2022 5-11 PF [player_tooltip player_id="285228" first="Mackenzi" last="Salas"] – Atlanta Cagers-Smith – Creekview </strong>[player_tooltip player_id="285228" first="Mackenzi" last="Salas"] didn’t need to jump out of the gym to be an effective post presence. Salas is a very good rebounder that plays angles well. She has a knack for getting her hands on loose balls. Salas is capable of finishing around the rim. When she receives post entries, Mackenzi is patient with the ball. She’s a really good passer out of the post that can hit open shooters. <strong><img class="alignright wp-image-311525 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/07/IMG_8758-150x150.jpg" alt="[player_tooltip player_id=" width="150" height="150" />2022 5-9 W [player_tooltip player_id="195842" first="Amy" last="Singh"] – Atlanta Cagers-Smith – Sequoyah </strong>The perimeter offense of [player_tooltip player_id="195842" first="Amy" last="Singh"] kept defenses on their toes. Singh could knock down the three but also liked to take one or two dribbles coming around the top of the key to shoot from the mid-range. She made good decisions with the ball as a passer and used her strength to defend multiple spots. <strong>2022 5-9 PF [player_tooltip player_id="311537" first="Jalaya" last="Eskridge"] – Georgia Dream Team ’22 – Evans </strong>Eskridge provided toughness inside. She’s a physical rebounder with a high motor in the paint. She collected 9 rebounds apiece in the two games I watched. The lefty can score through contact and can spin off defenders inside. She’s a solid rim protector. <strong>2023 5-7 CG [player_tooltip player_id="213468" first="Hannah" last="Cail"] – Tier 1 Blaze – Calvary Day </strong>[player_tooltip player_id="213468" first="Hannah" last="Cail"] can play either guard position but is at her best at off-guard. She’s a smooth ball handler with nice court vision. She relies heavily on her jump shot, able to pull-up off the dribble from three. Cail is a good rebounder for her size. Hannah didn’t force the issue much. I think she’s really good when she stays in attack mode. <strong>2023 5-11 W [player_tooltip player_id="154587" first="Kanija" last="Daniel"] – Porter Sports – Carrollton<img class="wp-image-311521 size-thumbnail alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/07/IMG_8767-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /> </strong>The two-way standout brings effort on both ends. Kanija is a fluid athlete with a good-looking shot which has improved over the years. She hit 2 threes en route to 14 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. Kanija is a very good slasher but showed the ability to score from the mid-range as well. Daniel has great switchability on defense, able to guard any position. <strong>2022 6-0 F Jasmine Jones – Porter Sports – Carrollton </strong>Jasmine will help Carrollton. She’s a combo-forward that is most effective in the paint. She has good length and strength. Jones can rebound in traffic. She likes to attack from the high post and get to the rim.
