Even more important is her ability to drop dimes and her no-look passes are one of the reasons yet so are the ones she threw off balance yet she threads the needle so well that her teammates get easy looks. She also has an explosive first step to get to the basket and score, her mid to long-range jumper is consistent and she battles taller players for rebounds, again check the cover </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='858505' first='Peyton' last='Cooks']- 5'5 G (Manvel)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cooks was hot off the stove as I caught her during the preliminaries and watched her athletic ability to blow by defenders as well as her body control on her finishes grabbed my attention.

Nevertheless, I also call her RED, not just because of her hair but her ability to get hot and drain it from, well everywhere. I think I was more impressed with her improved "catch and shoot" while being defended as well as scoring off the dribble, but that 3 ball...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='692430' first='Kimora' last='Carroll']-5'8 CG (Hitchcock)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Carroll has been singing tunes for years, she reminded me I first wrote about her years ago and she was<strong><a href="http://It was great to see the progression from players I already knew about yet even greater to catch a glimpse of players from my area I knew nothing about which falls into the &quot;not turning in rosters&quot; category I have been going on and on about for, well, EVER yet some feel it may not be necessary and those feel that way are, NTB, not too bright so here ya go [player_tooltip player_id='740969' first='Kendall' last='Ford']-5'7 G (Pearland Dawson) Ford used her athleticism on both ends and her &quot;on the ball&quot; pressure immediately stood out as she understands how to read the court and play the passing lane.

Her poise under pressure was already there yet she understands how to take games over in the blink of an eye as well as get hers in the flow. Mid to long-range, off the dribble, not to leave out solid court vision, were on display </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
