She can handle the ball, she is a good defender and she is one of the teams leaders as a young athlete. We expect her to showout at this event and make some good plays for team and try and win some games.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2023, 5'8, SG, Windward HS, [player_tooltip player_id='265660' first='Skye' last='Belker'] </strong>- We expect Belker to be the playmaker she is for her team and also the versatile offensive skill set that will allow her to be the player she already is. She is crafty and she is smart and she is gonna make shots from the three point line and continue to get to the rim and make easy buckets. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2023, 5'7, SG, Harvard Westlake HS, [player_tooltip player_id='265653' first='Jordyn' last='Call']</strong> - Jordyn is a good player and she is capable of being a pretty good versatile scorer for her team, she will make plays as well and do her very best to keep her team in the winning column. She can score in a variety of ways and we expect her to do some good things in this event and show us new things. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025, 5'9, SG, Windward HS, [player_tooltip player_id='393736' first='Samari' last='Bankhead']</strong> - has a versatile skill-set for her size. She's a natural forward with some guard like abilities. She's very comfortable handling the ball and attacking the rim. Finishes strong at the rim. She can handle the ball well on the break. Early in the game I saw, she wasn't making the best reads with the ball in her hands, but as the game went on she started making better passes and decisions off the dribble. She sets good, hard screens. Has tools to be a good defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
