Taniyah Cash is a “jack of all trades” kind of player that you certainly want on your team. She is strong in the post using nice footwork to create her own space and score some points. She uses her length to make herself a big target for the entry pass as she seals off opponents on the block. She’s quick, too, being able to handle the ball pushing it up the court on fast breaks. She protects the ball driving aggressively to the basket from the top of the key scoring points that way, and she is sure to grab rebounds on both ends of the court.
Eva McRae is dominant in the paint going to work against anyone who tries to guard her, and this usually leads to many trips to the free throw line as defenders struggle to stop her. What makes her so lethal, though, is her ability to step outside and shoot the ball. She can use her ability to seal off players on the block to slow down her defenders and step around the perimeter to get the pass and put up her shot. She crashes the boards on both ends coming up with rebounds for her team.
Highlights
Kayden Johnson is a hard worker in the paint going after every rebound she can get on both ends of the court. She does a nice job dropping down to the block, catching the pass, and going to work to score some points. She doesn’t need to be inside to score, though, as she has some nice range to her shot from around the perimeter. She stays consistent with her energy and effort throughout every game.
Highlights
Breonda Summers is a beast on offense, but what really makes her stand out is what she can do on defense. She can essentially guard any position from guards around the perimeter and slowing them down on a full court press to battling post players inside. She takes the aggressiveness to the other end scoring at the rim with her post moves, and she will certainly box out her opponents going after rebounds.
Daria Fink is definitely an asset in the paint. She can score with her back to the basket showing off some nice post moves, and she can attack the basket battling through contact when needed. She rebounds well on both ends of the court. Her ability to step outside and knock down a shot from around the perimeter makes her a multilevel scorer.
