Slick lefty point guard with a nice shot out to the three-point line. Nice touch around the rim. She is working her way back from a knee injury. I will get to see her during the high school season so I can update her evaluation in January.
Speedy point guard that kept getting out in transition, where she either scored or fed teammates for easy buckets. Her passes were accurate and she showed good instincts on defense, coming up with a few deflections and steals.

Athletic combo guard with some length which she used well on defense. Solid fundamentally and always looked to pass first, which is nice in these showcase environments. She should contribute right away to her high school team because she is a good shooter and ball handler.

Aggressive and physical slasher. Moved well without the ball and attacked the rim with force. She finished through contact on one play and showed some versatility in her game.

Huntyr got more comfortable and assertive as the day went on. She’s probably best suited for shooting guard as she can knock down shots and knows how to get open. She has a quick release, and was usually ready to fire away on the catch.
Mila got a lot done. She was in the middle of everything. She’s a physical presence and she cleaned up the glass. She sparked the team on defense and showed her range by knocking down at least one three-pointer. Nice all-around performance.

Good length and has a soft touch on her shot. She has a nice mid-range shot and collected some rebounds. As she fills out and gets stronger, she’ll start to pick up interest at the next level.
