<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#23 Shena Fleming, City Elite Basketball Prime 2024:</strong>  She handles the rock well, great job dishing the ball to her teammates. And she certainly knows how to put the ball in the basket.  Strong moves to the bucket.  Athletic, speed, solid defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#32 Wren Nelson, Hardwood Midwest 2024:</strong> At 6'3, along with her strength, she's a serious problem for opponents!  Blocking machine, grabs boards, soft touch around the rim. Love how she grabs boards, and immediately thinking transition!
