Wheat State Slam 16U All-Tournament Team

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I caught a variety of players multiple times, some made the <strong>All-Tournament Second Team</strong> after being <strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2023/04/top-performers-wheat-state-slam-16u-day-1/">Top Performers on Day 1 </a></strong>and <strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2023/04/top-performers-wheat-state-slam-16u-day-2/">Day 2</a></strong> . I'll also drop another story later today on some <strong>BREAKOUT PLAYERS</strong> I had a chance to see </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>FIRST TEAM</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Lilly Chappel-[program_tooltip program_id='712586' first='KC' last='Dream'] 2026 Gold</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Chappell falls into a category I love to talk about from yesteryear and it's the "you won't work me" group. Her DESIRE to go after the ball, off the rim, as well as loose balls, are things "you can't teach" and watching her do it instinctively was very nice. She also gave me the "hands and footwork" inside the paint and all of those things get the #THROWBACK hashtag. Not only does she rebound on both ends, but she also runs the floor on both ends and her dropping the mid to long-range was an added plus</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kylee Cole-Missouri Flight 2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cole created her shot under pressure and drop it from outside with a hand in her face and that's mid to long-range, She attacks the basket strongly and finished after contact. She did a good job rebounding, on both ends and her court vision in the open court going coast to coast was really nice as she threaded the needle with crisp passes on the money. She also did a good job defending, "on the ball" and on top of that, played the passing lane. I also enjoyed her timing on defense as she blocked shots </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Addie Bond-5'9 G ([program_tooltip program_id='715643' first='Kansas' last='Elite'] 2025 DDI) Spring Hill [2025]</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bond was no secret agent as she showed me quite a bit over the course of the event. She's heady and understands simple things that turn into big things like dropping the midrange consistently which is a major attraction for college coaches. Her court vision and ability to set teammates up for gimmes were nice, and so was her ballhandling, especially her change of pace in the open court. She did a good job defending, both in the set as well as "baseline to baseline", and she rebounded on both ends</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Julianna Thomas-OK Royal Legacy 2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Thomas also gets a #THROWBACH hashtag for being "vocal on the court" and although I couldn't hear what she was saying, I saw her directing traffic. Her court vision in the set as well as in transition was nice and she scored or dished off the dribble. She rebounded against taller players, and her on-the-ball defense coupled with her quick hands got her steals but she also read the court on the defensive end and played the passing lane giving her steals as well</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Elsie Boughman-5'10 F (Kansas Dream 2025) Little River [2025]</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Boughman is powerful and I wrote PUNISHER as she attacked the basket strongly to finish as well as scoring around the basket, putbacks included and yes, she rebounds on both ends. She also can handle the ball in the open court after rebounding and showed she could score going "coast to coast" under pressure. She also scored from the wing off the dribble and even dropped the midrange jumper. Her defense was solid inside the paint and she stepped outside of it to guard her man as well</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SECOND TEAM</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jocelyn Timmermeyer ([program_tooltip program_id='712586' first='KC' last='Dream'] Gold 2026)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='539006' first='Lydia' last='Reed']-6'2 C (Kansas Dream 2025) 2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jaclyn Lara-5'10 F ([program_tooltip program_id='716056' first='Oklahoma' last='Royal Legacy'] 2025) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Brooke Wheeler (Missouri Flight 2025) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ava Graham-6'1 C ([program_tooltip program_id='715643' first='Kansas' last='Elite'] DDI 2025) West Nodaway [2025]</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
