Alyssa Potter 2023 5’6 Coppell High School, TX ( Texas Platinum 2023 Bates)
Alyssa is a silky smooth shooter who can punish the defense from all three levels of the floor. I was blown away by the ease in which she scored from the perimeter and I was not surprised to see why she wore the number 30 after watching her play for a few minutes! She has a very refined jumper off the bounce that has a high release point, which allows her to shoot over the top of the defense and punish them from beyond the arc as well as in the midrange. She constantly attacked the defense to either get into the paint or stop on a dime and rise up over them for an easy jumper. I was very impressed with her overall court vision as well, she made good reads to set up her teammates in the full court and the half court. I would like to see her work on adding a floater so she can score a bit easier in the paint.
Sofia Budnik 2023 5’10 Cinco Ranch High School, TX ( Texas Cagers Select White)
Sofia is a sharp shooting guard who thrives at shooting off the bounce and the catch, all while calmly initiating offense. She is a high level guard with an ability to create space with a live dribble. Her ability to dictate the pace and create looks for her teammates is incredibly impressive, and she is very aware at her ability to create shot attempts if her passes are on the money and on time. She and her counter part Madison (Lee- 2023 Cinco Ranch HS) are high level scorers from the perimeter and are real weapons on the outside. The two of them will be putting pressure on defenses for the next few years at Cinco Ranch High School!
Madison Lee 2023 5’8 Cinco Ranch High School, TX ( Texas Cagers Select White)
Madison is a high level scoring guard who is a consistent shooter off the catch. Her ability to be a threat to space the floor on the backside of the defense was a real weapon, and her awareness and ability to move off the ball really stood out. She is a knockdown shooter off the catch and is good at quickly setting her feet. She and her counter part Sofia (Budnik- 2023 Cinco Ranch HS) are high level scorers from the perimeter and are real weapons on the outside. The two of them will be putting pressure on defenses for the next few years at Cinco Ranch High School! I would like to see her work on her confidence with a live dribble, and work on getting into the teeth of the defense.
Leandria Holmes 2023 5’10 Klein Forest High School, TX ( Hoop Lovers 2023)
Leandria is a high level guard who plays on both ends of the court and lived on the fast break after picking passes in the passing lane or rebounding the ball. She is aware on the break and made the right reads and constantly created for her teammates and found them with crisp passes that hit them in stride. In the half court, she constantly found her teammates and created shot opportunities for them. She displayed an ability to knock down shots off the dribble from beyond the arc. She constantly hit shots and was always a threat to score from the outside.Her size allows her to manipulate the defense and force them to sink back to take away shot opportunities down low. The ease in which she finished at the rim gives herself even more space on the perimeter.
