Best returning shooters from the West side – 3 point threats

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The high school season has just come to a close. It has been a fun season, being able to get to know a lot more players on the girls side than I had in previous years. Girls basketball is on the rise and there are countless young players in the state of Washington who can play at a high level. This is list of some of those players that can shoot it from deep with the best of them. These are just a handful of players that could make the list. [player_tooltip player_id='317132' first='Brooklynn' last='Haywood'], for example, is the best shooter in the state. My opinion, but not written about in this one. There will be more. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["502389"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"They must know how to teach shooting at North Creek. Drew Jensen on the boys side and Mikah on the girls side. She is a phenomenal shooter who can make space off the dribble to get shots up. She did just that, making 82 threes at 40%. That makes for an excellent adjusted field goal percentage and the volume is even more impressive. She also plays the point guard position well, using her great court vision and always pushing the ball. She changes speeds well when getting to the hoop. Look for her to have an even bigger break-out season next year.

Big things to come in the next three years.

She is lightning quick with her tight dribble. She is one of the best at getting her own shot. She creates space in any of a number of tough step back jumpers, or blowing by the defense with a hesitation move. She also changes speeds and sets up her defender. Another freshman, she is getting attention from some big time college programs already and I would bet it is because of her ball skills and quickness. The shooting is good and if she is able to make it great, good luck stopping her.
