Logan Dutka (Lady Attack Elite) showed off her shot blocking ability, and she immediately pushed it up the court. She did well moving without the ball to get open and show off her jump shot. She has a vision of the court using her height to find open teammates even when you think the play may be broken down. She can certainly shoot well from downtown, too.
Jada Brigman Jada Brigman 5'9" | SF Olympic | 2022 State NC (Lady Attack Elite) is an aggressive defender who uses that ability to create her own offense taking steals all the way the other direction. She is constantly moving on the court making the defense shift. She had a nasty block that could have been a volleyball spike, and the crowd certainly loved it.
Kaia Barringer (Lady Attack Elite) slides into the gaps and drops to the block at just the right times to grab a board or a pass to score. She would not be denied a rebound, especially on the offensive side of the court.
Maddie Shannon (Lady Attack Elite) was making nice cuts to the basket sliding into the gaps ready to shoot. She is patient when showing off her post moves even showed off a nice up and under move to score two points.
Anayah Underwood (Lady Phenom NC) has some nice post moves that she uses moving her opponents where she wants them to go. She uses her length to cause problems for her opponents on defense. She was able to block shots well, and she immediately found teammates sprinting up the court.
Lillian Davis (Charlotte Dream Elite, pictured above) was effective blocking shots in the paint. She was constantly moving on offense repositioning herself against her defenders calling for the ball and crashing the boards for rebounds. She was ready to put the ball right back up when she grabbed an offensive board.
Nora Schroeder Nora Schroeder 5'11" | SF Charlotte Christian | 2022 NC (FBC Carolina Elite Meadows) runs the floor well hustling back on defense to block shots, and she is ready for a pass to score in transition. She dives on the floor for loose balls making sure she grabs a steal. She crashes the boards grabbing rebounds. She created some nice separation between her and her opponent to show off her jump shot.
Aaliyah Balser (Carolina All-Stars) knows how to put her head down and get to the basket. Her fakes throw off her opponents to create a path for her. She runs the floor well making sure she is there to score in transition. She shows off some nice baseline drives to the basket using her body to protect the ball.
Jasmine Twitty (Lady Royals) is constantly moving on offense cutting into the paint making the defense guess where she is going. She drives hard to the basket not letting anyone in her path stop her. She runs the floor well sneaking behind her opponents to catch a pass and score even getting some old fashioned three point plays.
