Skylar White Skylar White 5'6" | PG E.E. Smith | 2023 State NC | E.E. Smith
White is a multi sport athlete who certainly knows how to use her speed to her advantage. She can break away with a steal scoring some points on the other end of the court. She has an arsenal of ball moves she can use at high speeds, and her finish at the rim makes it nearly impossible to try to slow her down. Even when she isn’t handling the ball, she is ready to put up her shot making sure to score three points from deep when thrown the pass. She reads the floor well knowing how defenses will shift, so she can make the perfect pass into her teammate.
Anaya Harris Anaya Harris 5'8" | PG North Raleigh Christian Academy | 2023 NC | North Raleigh Christian
Harris is fluid when handling the ball making sure her team knows where they need to be when executing a play. Her ability to move with the ball to move her defenders makes it easy for her to get to the basket or get the pass to a teammate for their own points. She doesn’t shy away from crashing the boards to grab rebounds, and she is feisty when it comes to blocking shots, too.
Jade Clowney Jade Clowney 5'0" | PG West Cabarrus | 2023 NC | West Cabarrus
Clowney (pictured above) seems to constantly think about the next play and how she can help her team. She drives hard to the basket with the ball, and she can definitely step back and drain a three pointer. Her fakes with the ball allow her to create more space between her and her defender to put up her shot or blow by them. She is sneaky when it comes to playing defense making sure she can knock the ball away from her opponents when they’re trying to drive the ball by her.
Rhian Lawrence Rhian Lawrence 5'7" | PG Cardinal Gibbons | 2023 State NC | Cardinal Gibbons
Lawrence has a way of getting to the hoop using crossovers that make this classic move so much fun to watch. She can spy even the smallest opening and use it to get by her defenders. She has a strong arm, too, making sure she can throw passes up the court for some football-like touchdown looks to her open teammate on a fast break. She has a nice jump stop that turns into two points for her on fast breaks, and she can definitely drain it from deep for some more points.
