Tournament Of Champions – Impact Players

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='197954' first='Jordyn' last='Rollins'] 2023 - Norman: Jordyn has been truly impressive at the Tournament of Champions. She is a shooter and offensively, she is one of the more dominant player competing in this tournament. She rebounds with authority and pushes the ball without hesitation. She sees the floor and reads the defense well so she is able to differentiate every situation - she knows when to attack the basket, when to pull and when to pass to her teammates. Jordyn plays with intensity and her effort stays consistent regardless of what the score board shows. She plays defense on 100 and she is shifty which allows her to move and cut off the line continuously. She is the type of player who seeks out her opponents best player - not only to challenge herself but to be challenged. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tyson Endres 2023 - Okarche: Tyson is a strong inside presence and she has a soft touch that allows her to finish efficiently and effectively around the rim. She finds the open gaps in the defense and penetrates well for easy jumpers. In transition, Tyson runs the floor well and knows how to attack the basket for a lay-up or create contact to get to the line. She is the core to Okarche's team and this was apparent when she got into early foul trouble against Bixby - once she was on the bench, it was difficult for Okarche to score and the offense seemingly broke down until Tyson's return. Endres is the motor that keeps her team going. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='417348' first='Kayla' last='Jones'] 2023 - Norman: Kayla is a confident shooter and she knows how to get her shot off under pressure. She has a nice all around game that allows her the freedom to play numerous positions. Kayla rebounds well and her multiple efforts to secure the ball is a rare quality to have as most players give a single attempt and hope that someone on their team gains possession of the ball. Kayla has a polished outside game but she definitely knows how to position herself inside for the entry pass and quick turn around finish. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='197943' first='Alyssa' last='Nielsen'] 2023 - Bixby: Alyssa is the inside player that all guards want on their team. She rebounds the ball well by doing the fundamentals and blocking out - when she grabs an offensive rebound, she is keen about the positioning of the defense so she knows when to go back up strong and when to pass the ball out to her shooters. But, it should not be omitted that Alyssa herself is quite the shooter. On defense, Alyssa plays hard and knows how to protect the rim without fouling and times her jumps to get clean blocks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='197956' first='Gentry' last='Baldwin'] 2023 - Bixby: Gentry is a high caliber guard that sets the bar high for anyone playing with or against her. She is highly skilled and a high percentage shooter. Gentry has been lights out through the first two games and she shows no signs of slowing down. She is quick off the dribble and once she passes you, you can find her at the rim finishing a lay-up. Defensively, she is aggressive and knows how to get the ball handler into the corners. Gentry has been one of the more exciting players to watch as she possesses all the qualities of a next level ball player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
