Roster
Multiple level scoring threat. Good with the ball in her hands. Solid height while being athletic. Maybe second smallest player listed on this roster but she sure won’t play like it. Can play the 1-3 depending on situations. Elite 2-way player.
Highlights
Lengthy and quick. Very good first step at the ball while opponent is tryin to go up for a finish. Can consistently screen and spread the floor at the 4 position. Efficiently with her back to the basket. Even better when given adequate time.
Highlights
Elite playmaker with ideal size and strength for her position. Can play the 3-5 at the high school level but only the 3-4 at the high-end AAU level in most situations. Constant production scoring and getting her teammates involved on an every game basis. Promising ability all around. Prospect that whichever college gets her, they will be counting their blessings.
Definition of a bucket-getter in every possible way you can think of. Drive by ability is next lever off of the dribble with a nice lay-up package. Doesn’t force much. Will be more efficient and deadly on offense while playing with other high-level players.
Post with a nice frame who has really worked on her shooting ability so that she can spread the floor. Has 2 levels to her game, pick and roll or pick and pop for three. Paint presence for her team on defense. Alters a lot of shots. Does well when having to switch onto smaller players in short bursts.
Highlights
Elite level talent. Athletic with a long wing-span. Good height for the point guard position. Ability to do it all on offense, wether it to be the main creator and distributor or main scorer. Team player. Works hard. Smart. Big time prospect nation wide.
Another post presence with an elite skillset. Can get any shot she wants in the paint off of the catch. Three level scorer who can fill it up in a hurry. Has a nice 15 foot jump-shot. Disciplined on defense a majority of the time. Does a good job of staying down. Great strength, speed, skill overall. High ceiling player.
Highlights
Efficient forward who is really productive at the 3/4 spot. Moves well off of the ball and on help side. High motor rebounded on both sides of the floor. Makes unselfish choices. Hustles harder than most I’ve seen at the high school level.
Quick twitch guard who is smooth with the ball. Good on ball defender. Fast first dribble and go when given the ball in space. Sets feet with even balance while attacking the rim. Plays off of two when plausible. Isn’t afraid to get on the floor and get her hands dirty to help her team out.
