Skylar White Skylar White 5'6" | PG E.E. Smith | 2023 State NC | Carolina Flames 17U Nike Moses
White (featured photo) is so quick moving in all directions on the court whether she is handling the ball or jumping into passing lanes. She does a great job making the defense shift to open up the floor for her teammates to score some points. Her quickness made it difficult for guards to get around her even causing a turnover with a five second call.
Samyha Suffren Samyha Suffren 5'8" | PG Cannon | 2023 State NC | Team Curry 17U
Suffren moves with such speed when handling the ball. She makes a move and blows by her defenders. She was consistently grabbing steals to take the other direction, too, and she makes sharp passes ahead to her teammates or underneath the basket to get some points for her team.
Maraja Pass Maraja Pass 5'6" | PG Winston-Salem Christian National | 2023 State NC | Team Curry 17U
Pass is such a good facilitator on offense showing off her handles to get around her defenders, and she knows how to get the ball to her teammates while she is drawing the defenders towards her. She uses her high basketball IQ to make the best move and blow by someone with ease.
La’Kayia Hunt La’Kayia Hunt 5'4" | CG Lumberton | 2023 NC | 910 Flames 17U
Hunt sold her fakes well to get around her opponents. She did a nice job penetrating the paint to create space for her teammates to score their points. She crashed boards on the defensive side of the ball and immediately pushed the ball up the court to score on fast breaks.
Valerie Veauthier Valerie Veauthier 5'5" | SG Holly Springs | 2023 NC | 910 Flames 17U
Veauthier thread the needle with some nice passes pushing the ball up the court in transition. She moved quickly with the ball finding ways around her opponents to get her passes into her post players. She can certainly score herself showing off her jumpers from all over the court.
