Feel free to email, DM, or just tag me in your videos. I’d love to take a look at your video and definitely add you to my list of players to check on when the school ball season gets going toward the end of this year.
There’s a good chance that Nellie may never be the tallest player on the court. I think that’ll be okay. She’s gonna get her buckets. She’s got handles and quickness and a lot more heart than a lot more players out there. Already racking up the accolades, Nellie has undoubtedly begun to catch some of you coaches’ eyes. Watching her video, you see a player who can and will let it fly from just about anywhere. She racks up the points and to be completely honest, she is still a little wild and raw, not at all in a bad way. With more age, coaching, and refinement, Nellie’s lack of height will matter even less. She is a flat-out baller, y’all.
Highlights
The first thing that jumps out about Sierra is her size. She is tall and strong. Having seen her in person, I can vouch for the fact that she definitely uses her size well down low. She can bump and bruise with any big out there. She racks up the blocks and steals in the paint and once the ball is in her hands, she is far from a liability. I saw her several times bring the ball up court on a fast break and make the right pass at the right time to a teammate cutting to the basket. Oh yeah, she can also hit the three. If you’re looking for one of the “new generation of bigs,” look no further. Sierra has it all.
Another player with good size and strength who battles hard inside is Addison Pivniska Addison Pivniska 5’11” | C Yukon | 2025 State OK . Her video shows block after block of the unfortunate opponent who thinks it smart to drive to the rim with “Big 33” standing in there. Block after block after block and then a few steals here and there… then you see her step out and start draining threes. So, yeah, about that “new generation of bigs,” here’s another very good one. Pivniska can do it all. She moves very well, gets up and down the floor quickly and moves well without the ball. I am excited to get to see Addison in person this season and if you’re looking to better your college team, you should be too.
So, that other Curry guy in San Francisco is a pretty good shooter. If he’s watched any of the video that I watched of Brooke on her social media, he’s probably pretty happy that he has the same last name as she does. She can absolutely shoot the lights out. In fact, in her most recent AAU tournament, she shot 48% from behind the arc. That’s actually 12% better than that other Curry guy did in his most recent playoff tournament. Also, just like the other Curry, Brooke is far from “just a shooter.” She is a very good defender and looks to be a very hard-nosed player that any coach would absolutely love to have on their team.
Highlights
Call Imani the “Kinetic Particle” because she is constantly in motion. Just watching video of her working was making me tired. She’s listed as a 5’9″ Power Forward/Shooting Guard and watching her on video you see a sort of 3/4 hybrid. But, none of that matters that much. Regardless of where Imani is at, what you really see is a player working their absolute hardest to do everything that a team needs done in order to win. Screens, backscreens, picks, rolls, spacing, moving without the ball, hustle plays. She’s going to be doing all of it. Imani is going to be around, always working, the “Kinetic Particle,” always in motion.
