<p>[player_tooltip player_id='216637' first='Jennifer' last='Altshuler'] - Holy Family</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Altshuler has the toolbox to be a serious problem within the state, due to her potential as a three level scorer and budding lead guard vision. The jump shot is her biggest asset, where she can stretch it out well beyond the arc. The combo guard is equally capable pulling up in the mid-range, primarily generating space from screens or late defensive rotations. Altshuler is more than capable getting to the rim with either hand, proving to take hits while retaining her balance. One notable aspect of her passing comes from one handed kick outs, either to wing or corner shooters. The junior ranks 29th in the class and 12th among combo guards.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='263607' first='Tahlaya' last='Biglow'] - Doherty</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Biglow brings high upside scoring and playmaking due to her shooting range and powerful ballhandling package. At roughly 5'6, the combo guard is adept using crossovers to generate driving lanes with either hand. Coming out of those drives, she does well surveying the floor to take a pull-up jumpers in the mid-range, hop into a floater, or kick it out to the shooter. Like so many of these guards within Colorado, they have high potential as a three level scoring threat, no exception here with Biglow. On multiple occassions, she created no look passes as a means of fooling the defense, freeing up the shooter. Biglow currently ranks 40th within the class and 16th among combo guards.</p>

The combo guard is capable heating up from distance, posting two games with 7+ made threes. Although she brings notable shooting gravity, Dehaan is capable stepping into jumpers or leveraging that gravity to reel defenders out of position. Dehaan currently ranks 48th in the class and 20th among combo guards. </p>
