<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These prospects have reaffirmed their standing within the state of Colorado, providing collegiate ready skill sets that have provided high level production through their first two high school seasons.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='352917' first='Sienna' last='Betts'] - Grandview</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Betts is certainly one of the state's most prolific prospects, bringing dominance on both ends of the floor. At roughly 6'5, the forward is an elite shotmaker in the mid-post, getting to her turnaround fadeaway going either direction. A virtually unguardable shot, there are only a handful of players in the state who have a chance to contest such attempts. Her rebounding production is another crucial point, adding plenty of second chance opportunities per game, getting whatever she wants at will. Betts is used to being doubled, an area of improvement came from her post passing, keeping the ball high and staying patient, keeping her hands high for the next pass.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='361564' first='Tianna' last='Chambers'] - Cherry Creek</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the best perimeter defenders in the state, Chambers has positional versatility to defend 1 through 3 alongside her playmaking value. At roughly 6' tall, the guard possesses a very quick first step, granting her driving lanes off of simple jabs and rip throughs. At her height, she accelerates especially quickly downhill, complemented by a variable finishing package once in the paint. Whether Chambers gets to her ambidextrous finishes around the rim or by the off-balance floater, she is a tough cover. Given her high volume of opportunities in the paint, Chambers is active using her height as a playmaker, kicking out for shooters and backdoor cutters.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='374158' first='Gianna' last='Smith'] - Arapahoe</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Smith is a fiery scorer, notably coming from jumpers off of movement. The incoming junior is an elite shooter in the mid-range or spanning out to the three-point line. The guard is a deadeye, capable of hitting tightly contested step-back jumpers over multiple contests. When needed to put the team on her back, Smith can get a much needed bucket. Given her tight handle, Smith is capable of leveraging the shooting gravity for drives, should opponents close out too hard.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='366414' first='Alexandra' last='Eschmeyer'] - Peak to Peak</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A truly modern forward, Eschmeyer brings a high ceiling two-way impact as a 6'5 wing. The forward is a capable pick and pop threat, easily stretching out beyond the three point line. She does a great job of utilizing her gravity to attack closeouts with urgency, getting downhill with pace through straight line drives. Her defensive potential is incredibly high, capable of matching up against the top frontcourt opponents while showing signs of defending 3s when necessary. Defensive versatility comes at a caveat nowadays, Eschmeyer exemplifies these needs.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='495929' first='Tori' last='Baker'] - Highlands Ranch</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Baker shows immense value taking the lead and being an assertive playmaker. The guard is a knockdown shooter from distance, typically coming off the catch. Albeit, Baker has continued to find ways to be a threat attacking downhill, by stepping into the pull-up mid-range jumper or by taking it all the way to finish over a contest. She does a great job reading screens and making the decision based on how the defense allows potential openings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
