Autumn Washington | Team Curry 14U
Washington already has good height that she can use to clog the paint. Her length is a constant obstacle when she’s on defense. She can score on her own, too, handling the ball and driving hard to the basket. She does a great job grabbing rebounds as well.
Brianna Carelock | Team Curry 14U
Carelock pushed the ball up the court after grabbing her own steals. She was a nuisance on defense, especially when it came to trapping at the right times. She made effective decisions when it came to finishing at the rim.
Hannah Moss | Team Curry 14U
Moss created space for herself with her handles, and she showed off her range shooting from deep. She can also create plays for her teammates drawing defenders towards her to open up the floor. Her IQ showed on the other end, too, anticipating passes to regain possession.
Tiara Thompson | Carolina Flames EYBL Jr Chasten
Thompson (featured photo) showed off her range shooting the ball. She showed a lot of composure on the court already for a young athlete competing at a high level. She sees the floor well finding her open teammates cutting to the hoop making sure they get the pass at just the right spot.
Brook Evans | Carolina Flames EYBL Jr Chasten
Evans was a versatile athlete for her team filling in whatever role they needed her to. Her length was an asset at the top of the key on defense, and she was powerful scoring inside on the offensive side of the ball. She seemed to always be around the basket at the perfect time whether she was cutting to catch a pass or going up high to grab the rebound.
Ashlyn Hudson | Carolina Flames EYBL Jr Chasten
Hudson knew how to time her defensive moves blocking shots with ease. She was persistent when it came to grabbing rebounds, especially looking for second chances on the offensive glass. She may have been listed as a guard, but she was doing it all for her team.
Brooke Busby | Team Curry 14U | 2027
That’s right, a 2027. Busby shows off her shot consistently knocking it down with ease. She is patient when putting up her shot making sure she creates space for herself to put it up. She is quick handling the ball and keeping her eyes peeled for the best play to run.
