AAU Preview: Team Sharp 17U Carolina

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A team loaded with superstar talent that comes into the 2023 AAU circuit hungry for success! Coach Sharp is notorious for putting together a squad filled with stellar scorers, defensive beasts and everything in between... and this one is no different! Every single player on this roster had a phenomenal season for their respective high school teams and looks to keep that momentum going through the Spring &amp; Summer. Let's dive in and explore this team a bit further:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:table --> <figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Date</td><td>Event</td><td>Location</td></tr><tr><td>April 21-23 (live period)</td><td>Select Events Spooky Nook</td><td>Manheim, PA</td></tr><tr><td>May 19-21 (live period)</td><td>Elite 40 Clash of the Clubs</td><td>Dallas, TX</td></tr><tr><td>July 6-8 (live period)</td><td>Elite 40 Rose Classic</td><td>Louisville, KY</td></tr><tr><td>July 9-11 (live period)</td><td>Elite 40 Run 4 Roses</td><td>Louisville, KY</td></tr><tr><td>July 20-21 (live period)</td><td>Elite 40 Orlando Splash</td><td>Orlando, FL</td></tr><tr><td>July 22-24 (live period)</td><td>Elite 40 National Championship</td><td>Orlando, FL</td></tr></tbody></table><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><strong><em>*full 2023 schedule still to come</em></strong></figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:table --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='325186' first='Faith' last='Fedd-Robinson'] - <strong>Newark Central (2024)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Faith is coming off a tremendous season with the Blue Devils; she was one of only a handful of players in the state to average a double-double with 20.1 ppg &amp; 13 rpg. She also eclipsed 1,000 career points this past winter and is just 138 rebounds shy of 1,000. Standing 5'11", Faith uses her long frame to not only command the post, but also see over defenders and find players in the open court. She can also step out to the 3-point and knock down long-range shots with ease (she went off for five against Colonia). There's nothing she can't do and is so incredibly skilled and dynamic that she can easily change the outcome of any game with her scoring and defensive prowess.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='406940' first='Te'Yala' last='Delfosse'] - <strong>Ewing (2024)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One-third of Ewing's 3-headed monster, Te'Yala saw incredible success in the post-season as her squad won the Group 3 State Title over Randolph on March 5th. In the process, Te'Yala scored her 1,000th career point (as a junior) and cemented her legacy as one of Ewing's greatest players. Scoring it nearly 16 ppg, the 6'2" stud wreaked havoc on teams all season long with her tremendous post player and red-hot long ball. To add insult to injury for the opponent, she tallied 14 double-doubles, some coming in points and rebounds, others in points and steals, as she was unstoppable both offensively and defensively.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='860005' first='Ineivi' last='Plata']</strong> - <strong>White Plains (2024)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A 1,000-point scorer, Ineivi sure knows a thing or two about scoring at a high clip! She runs the floor well and is a credible threat from 3-point territory. At nearly 16 ppg, she led White Plains to victory time and time again this season, including an 80-32 romp over Ossining where she went off for 35! And at just over 3 assists per game, she proved that she can distribute the ball just as effectively as she can score it. Ineivi is a polished point guard with great court vision and stellar scoring abilities.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='333309' first='Daniella' last='Matus'] - <strong>Morris Catholic (2025)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Daniella comes into this AAU season ready to face any and every defense thrown at her, because playing on the nation's 23rd ranked team, she saw it all this season. Playing a wildly difficult high school schedule has primed her for this very moment where she will be going up against elite AAU teams stacked with national talent. She is a sniper from behind the arc who can torch you with her barrage of 3-pointers. If given even just a smidge of space, she will undeniably bury the shot in stone-cold fashion.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='325219' first='Alexis' last='Rosenfeld'] - <strong>Morris Catholic (2024)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Averaging 9 ppg and 11.1 rpg for the nationally ranked Crusaders, Alexis asserted herself as a two-way threat. She swatted shots, crashed the glass and forced turnovers on her way to earning the title of "rim protector." At 6'3", her presence alone is enough to intimidate and deflate the confidence of her opponents before the ball even tips. Alexis brings a traditional back-to-the-basket game with the ability to pull it out and knock down consistent mid-range jumpers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='325190' first='Abby' last='Misier'] - <strong>Hightstown (2024)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Abby is on pace to score both her 1,000th career point and 1,000th career rebound in her senior season, as she has averaged a double-double in each of the last two seasons. One of the premier shot-blockers in New Jersey, Abby knows a thing or two about protecting the rim and forcing turnovers, with 3 blocks per game. At 6'4", she gives this Sharp squad tremendous size and a ferocious post-presence.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='406948' first='Amarilis' last='Shubick'] - <strong>St. Thomas Aquinas (2024)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A guard with superior court vision, Amarilis is lightning quick and can get down the floor in a hurry. With over 150 assists this season, she knows a thing or two about dishing dimes to her teammates. Even more impressively, she tallied up 231 points and established herself as a perimeter threat, even while being heavily face-guarded. With her excellent ball distribution, she will look to feed the beasts on this stacked squad. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='858708' first='Elizabeth' last='Archer']</strong> - <strong>Blair (2024)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Playing in the Prep division has truly elevated Elizabeth's all-court game. Going up against nationally ranked teams from around the country can make or break a player, and she rose to the occasion each and every time. She did a little bit of everything this season, from scoring, to rebounding, to everything in between! At 6'0", she uses her size coupled with her quickness to beat defenders off the dribble and attack the basket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='525407' first='Gianna' last='Chuffo'] - <strong>St. Thomas Aquinas (2025)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>She may be small in stature, but her game is huge! She will bring her lethal 3-point shooting and stifling defense to this team, as she did all year long with STA. Knocking down 86 threes her sophomore season, Gianna put the state on notice from December until February, torching teams game after game. Even more impressive, her basketball IQ is unmatched, giving her an intangible advantage over opponents.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
