The majority of the players were Virginia based with a sprinkle of Maryland. The sample size was a good representation of what the future has to offer in the high school scene.
Top Players and MVP’s
When talking about a MVP race you should begin with Sabrina. She showed a good feel for the game and shot the ball well off the dribble and spotting up. She has mastered the spin move and used it well even to get into her shot.
Amaya is another player whose name has been synonymous with MVP in the showcase. She rebounded well on both ends and finished by the basket. She pushed the ball nicely in transition even when under pressure. She was close to automatic attacking in the half court set taking players of the dribble and dragging them to the hoop.

Payton was the most athletic player I saw in the gym. She had a high skill level able to handle the ball in traffic and take players off the dribble. She dominated with the ball in her hands and her Team 3 could have benefited from feeding her more. Overall she looks like she can impact her high school team immediately and possibly be a day one starter.

Ailynn shot the ball well in warmups and shoot around which doesn’t always translate into game shots. For her it did as she was hitting shot after shot. She finished when attacking the basket but once she had the space it was a stop and pop that was money.
I really liked what I saw from Charisma. She was deceptively fast showing some nifty moves in transition. Her shot was pure from deep and she’s a good finisher at the basket even in traffic.
