Cy Fair Premier 15U with its Big 3 of Bailey Burns Bailey Burns 6'0" | SF Lake Creek | 2027 State TX -6’0 PF, Lyla Delafosse-5’6 PG, and Rachel Roberts-5’7 CG has made Tip Sheets galore over the course of the season yet they, as well as their teammates, continue to show what I love to see, PROGRESSION ON THE COURT and one has just taken her game to yet another level
Sofia Read-5’7 PG (Cy Fair Premier 15U)
Read might be the most improved player in her class that could already play and watching her “poise under pressure” at the event against older players was very nice. Visualize her grabbing a rebound and going full speed and in one motion, throwing a 30-foot pass on the money with her left hand for an assist, she’s right-handed. She also is more comfortable taking a game over offensively, her mid to long-range was clicking yet she also did a good job getting her teammates involved
Addison Han-5’5 CG (Pro Skills 14U Elite)
Han gave me a nice first look and left a lasting impression which is always good. She’s heady, stays under control, and plays within herself but that’s not why she’s on the cover, it’s because she’s showing signs of being “hard to cover”. Her deceptive first step, coupled with a slight HEZ enables her to get the defender off balance, this is where she takes off to attack the rim. Her body control was nice, she finished strongly after contact included and she dropped it from outside
Bisola Arowolo Bisola Arowolo 5'11" | PG Emerson | 2027 TX -5’10 F (Pro Skills 14U Elite)
Arowolo is “long and athletic” and that will always be the base and watching her go after the ball off the rim on both ends numerous times tells me a lot. I love seeing players do things you can’t teach and DESIRE is one of them yet you have to factor in she has UPS, which is a big plus, especially since she’s close to “the magic number” which is 6’0. She scored around the basket, and she also did a good job defending in the paint but her playing the passing lane as well as showing solid timing to block shots were all impressive
Delilah Jeffrey Delilah Jeffrey 5'11" | PF Braswell | 2027 TX -5’10 F (Pro Skills 14U Elite)
Jeffrey understands some things very important, yeah playing within herself is one of them, to the novice, not trying to do anything out of the ordinary, yet she also showed she could score in the flow and that’s big as well/ She attacked from multiple spots outside the rim using either hand and her finishes were strong and consistent. She also understands positioning, let me drop the #THRO WBA CK hashtag just for that but her interior defense was nice, she even stepped outside the paint to guard her man
Casey Chavez-5’7 PG ( SA Hoops Elite Gold ES)
Chavez had #D1Lock dropped from me 2 or 3 years ago, I’m a REAL EVALUATOR and I don’t have to be conservative about saying what I know and she made plenty of noise at the TABC Girls Fowcase a few weeks ago as she entered the database of several next-level programs and here’s why. She can score in droves in the blink of an eye yet she can also take over games “in the flow” by not only scoring, her mid to long-range is solid, so is her scoring off the dribble yet she sets her teammates up smoothly for easy scoring opportunities
