My second new year resolution in 2022 to see these 5 perimeter players. This could mean seeing them either more or for the first time.
Grace Capling Grace Capling 5'9" | SG Ida | 2024 State MI (2024, SG, Ida)
Capling is just the type of guard that I want to see play. She’s a multi level scorer that can take advantage of what the defense is giving her. I really like the physical brand of basketball that she can play. Capling doesn’t shy away from contact and plays through it. She has a smooth jumper that she doesn’t hesitate on off the catch.
Alaina Diaz Alaina Diaz 5'7" | CG Hudsonville | 2022 State MI (2022, CG, Hudsonville)
She’ll be returning to the floor soon and I need to take advantage of the opportunity. I’ve been very high on her game for years now and that still continues. Diaz has a Miss Basketball type influence on the game. She’s a force on both ends of the floor and may be the fastest player in the state. Diaz can advance the ball through pressure with both the dribble and the pass.
Ava Perry Ava Perry 5'5" | PG Ann Arbor Skyline | 2023 State MI (2023, PG, Ann Arbor Skyline)
Perry is playing really well this season and I need to check it out. She’s always been a terrific athlete and a speedy player, but something seems to have clicked. Perry has been a lightning bolt offensively, as evidenced by her 30 point game in a huge win over Ann Arbor Huron. She’s definitely an improvedplayer to keep an eye on moving forward.
Maddy Terry Maddy Terry 5'4" | PG Wayland Union | 2023 State MI (2023, PG, Wayland Union)
All the whispers say that Terry is playing some really solid basketball. I look forward to seeing her scorch the net in typical Maddy Terry Maddy Terry 5'4" | PG Wayland Union | 2023 State MI style. She can catch a hot streak from behind the arc and absolutely change a game. It’s not just that Terry can shoot, but she appears to be a big shot taker that usually connects when it means the most.
Ashley Weller Ashley Weller 5'10" | CG Jackson Northwest | 2024 State MI (2024, CG, Jackson Northwest)
Weller has a solid and intriguing all around game. If I had to bet, I’d say that we’ll be hearing a lot more about Weller in the near future. She’s an efficient scorer with a nose for the ball and a feel for a good shot. There’s a lot of upside to Weller’s game and I look forward to seeing her continue to develop as a basketball player.
