Riley Abney Riley Abney 5'9" | SG Ortonville Brandon | 2024 State MI
Abney is a terrific athlete and that was on display at this event. She can shake defenders and create space between her and her defender off the dribble.
Maya Anderson Maya Anderson 5'9" | PG Detroit Cass Tech | 2024 State MI
Anderson is a tough stop and her elite athleticism is a big reason why. She has outstanding hip movement which makes her unusually shifty on the offensive end.
Kara Bartels Kara Bartels 6'3" | PF Zeeland West | 2023 State MI
Bartels is going to be a force in the paint this season. She has some of the softest feet I’ve seen on a post player in Michigan. When Bartels makes a post move, it’s like her feet float through it.
Kynnedy Brown Kynnedy Brown SF Kalamazoo Central | 2023 State MI
Brown was impressive at Flight Hankamp. She took long strides and got up and down the floor quickly. Brown has sneaky quick feet that helps her put defenders on her hip.
Jaidyn Elam Jaidyn Elam 5'9" | CG Detroit Country Day | 2024 State MI
For Elam, it just looks like the game, and the movements within the game, comes naturally to her. She looks silky smooth, making the toughest plays look almost effortless.
Rylie Haist Rylie Haist 5'9" | CG Big Rapids | 2023 State MI
There wasn’t much that Haist couldn’t do physically on the basketball court. Her well rounded athleticism made her look like she could effectively play multiple positions.
Gracey Metz Gracey Metz CG Hartland | 2022 State MI
I didn’t realize until up close at Flight Hankamp, exactly how athletic Metz really is. Her ability to be stronger, faster, and more under control in her movements helped her get space for her jumper.
Jordan Peterson Jordan Peterson 5'10" | PF Belleville | 2024 State MI
Peterson has been underrated as an athlete and continues to improve in that facet of her game. She showed some real shiftiness and burst on Monday night.
Brook Simpson Brook Simpson 5'10" | SG Saugatuck | 2024 State MI
Simpson just makes it look easy sometimes. She beats players to spots and makes it look easy when she does it. Simpson has complete control over her movement.
Kate Stemmer Kate Stemmer 5'6" | SG Saline | 2024 State MI
Stemmer should be considered an elite talent in the state of Michigan and her overall athleticism definitely contributes to that. She can get up and down the floor quickly and terrific body control both on the ground and in the air.
Alaila Walker Alaila Walker 5'7" | CG Kalamazoo Central | 2022 State MI
Walker is an explosive athlete and player. She shoots out of a cannon off a rebound and gets the ball out into transition. Walker can use her athleticism to create high percentage looks at the bucket.
