Amirah looks poised to have a big high school season. She can move seamlessly between both guard spots and can go get a bucket when necessary. She has deep range on her three-point shot and has a killer pull up jumper. She is an exceptional athlete with great hang time and upper body strength which helps her finish through contact.
Comari is an explosive finisher at the rim, using her length and impressive vertical to make things happen. She has improved her three-point shot and has a deadly first step, so she is a really tough cover. She’s a slasher with good ball handling skills and she looks comfortable facilitating the offense. She uses her physical attributes to defend at a high level.
Amirah had a great summer and is looking to carry that over into the high school season. The first thing that jumps out to me about Amirah is her defense. She is a great on ball defender and a good team defender as well. She uses her length and speed to disrupt, and she comes up with a lot of steals and deflections. On offense she has rounded her game out nicely. She has range out to the three-point line, a nice floater game and is a good finisher at the rim.
Highlights
Big guard that plays with a lot of poise and power. Olivia is a true floor general that throws accurate passes with good touch. She has a nice feel for the game and good vision. Her three-point shot looks good and she finishes strong at the basket. She has a ton of potential and has picked up some Power Five offers already. Check for Courtland High this season.
