AZ Top 250 All Expo 3rd Team

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The AZ top 250 expo was loaded with talent this weekend at inspire courts in Gilbert AZ. Here are the players that made my All Expo 3rd Team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>PG: [player_tooltip player_id='339078' first='Angelina' last='Marsh'] PG 5'5" 2024 Paradise Honors</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Marsh made an impact on offense and defense at the Arizona top 250. She was able to create shots for herself and her great decision making allowed her teammates to get their opportunities as well. More of a traditional point guard with her pass first attitude but make no mistake about it Marsh can score when called upon. Always plays under control, a true floor general.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SG: [player_tooltip player_id='205684' first='Kristen' last='Valdez'] SG 5'5" 2024 Sahuaro (In Set)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Valdez is a go getter, plain and simple. She has the ability to play both guard spots with relative ease. She is a three level scorer with a good handle and sweet shooting stroke. She was returning from an injury so I was only able to see a sample size of how crazy talented she is and that's the only reason she's on my third team. As she continues to get healthy she'll continue to be a problem for opposing teams this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SF: [player_tooltip player_id='530990' first='Vanessa' last='Rae Sepulveda'] SF 5'6" 2024 Mesquite</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sepulveda was the model of consistency through out the day at the top 250. Every time she stepped on the court she was fantastic. Scoring, rebounding, passing and she did it all at a consistently high level as well. What was most impressive about Vanessa was her attitude, she was always positive through out the event. Talented as a player and as a person.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>PF: [player_tooltip player_id='530980' first='Amanda' last='Wiley'] PF 5'10" 2025 Yuma Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another good looking prospect at the top 250. Started off the day kind of in the shadows of the other great talent but as the day went on you started to see the great talent that is [player_tooltip player_id='530980' first='Amanda' last='Wiley']. She played strong inside finishing with both hands through contact. Was very effective in the mid range, whether it was a pick and pop situation or off the dribble. Wiley can rebound and she can defend and she plays with passion. As she continues to add range to her jump shot she'll become even more of a force in the class of 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>C: [player_tooltip player_id='530985' first='Jayla' last='Mclin'] C 5'11" 2024 Mesquite</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A versatile front court player that has the skill to play multiple positions there. More finesse than power and she gets the job done when she's on the court. McLin does a lot of good things on the court and she held her own against some other top notch bigs at the top 250. There's still room for improvement as with all prospects but the potential is there and it's undeniable.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
