Now we will look at 10 versatile juniors to see this season.
Lexi Boyke Lexi Boyke 6'1" | PF Frankenmuth | 2023 State MI (PF, Frankenmuth)
A couple years ago, Boyke was your traditional 4. That isn’t even close to the case anymore. She’s an aggressive post defender that can face the rim pull post defenders away from the paint.
Faith Carson Faith Carson 6'4" | C Buchanan | 2023 State MI (C, Buchanan)
Anyone that thinks that Carson is just a force in the paint needs to keep watching. She adds versatility with her court vision and ability to catch the ball at the high post and perimeter, scan the defense, and deliver a pin point pass to an open teammate.
Bridget Crombie Bridget Crombie 5'11" | SF CHAP | 2023 State MI (SF, Homeschool)
Crombie showed all the versatility needed to be on this list at the Flight Hankamp Open Run at Lake Michigan College. She scored from both inside and from the perimeter. On the defensive end, she dominated the glass and showed that she could cover a variety of types of offensive players.
Liv Linden Liv Linden 5'7" | SG Hartland | 2023 State MI (CG, Hartland)
I’ve seen Linden play a lot of basketball this fall and came away impressed every single time. She’s on this list due to her ability to play on or off the ball. Linden can be a point and distribute as well as be a scoring guard working away from the ball. Whatever her team needs, she can do it.
Maddie Petroelje Maddie Petroelje 6'1" | SF Hudsonville | 2023 State MI (SF, Hudsonville)
Petroelje’s toughness alone provides her with versatility. She loves the challenge of banging in the post on D, but can guard basically anywhere on the floor. Offensively, she can stretch the D with her 3 point shot.
Kaitlyn Sanders Kaitlyn Sanders 6'1" | SF Birmingham Groves | 2023 State MI (SF, Birmingham Groves)
As evidenced at the Prep Girls Hoops Michigan Top 250, there isn’t much that Sanders can’t do on a basketball court. And that includes at both ends of the floor. She’s a solid example of positionless basketball at work.
Trinity Starling Trinity Starling 6'1" | SF East Kentwood | 2023 State MI (SF, East Kentwood)
Starling provides versatility with her ability to match up with basically any type of player and still have an advantage. Her length and ball skills allow her to defend multiple positions and she can attack offensively off the dribble as well as with her jumper.
DeAndrea Smith DeAndrea Smith 5'7" | SF Flint Carman-Ainsworth | 2023 State MI (SF, Flint Carman-Ainsworth)
So I’ve known for well over a year now, just how many ways and how effective Smith is at getting buckets. But at the Top 250, she might have been the best passer in the gym. To be versatile enough to score and dish at a high level is a definite weapon.
Destanee Smith Destanee Smith 5'5" | CG Petersburg-Summerfield | 2023 State MI (CG, Petersburg-Summerfield)
Smith is one of the players in Michigan that probably deserves more coverage. I put her on the list because of her ability to both create for thers and dish, as well as the fact that she can put up points in bunches if that’s what her team needs.
Gabi Wenzel Gabi Wenzel 5'10" | PF Michigan Lutheran Seminary | 2023 State MI (PF, Michigan Lutheran Seminary)
Wenzel is a power forward that is versatile enough to play different styles and paces of a game. She can play a halfcourt game and patiently work opportunities, as well kick the ball into transition off a defensive rebound and finish the break.
