She Can’t Hold Me-Game 1-Team Buckets

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I think the opening game, wait I know the opening game set the tone for me and to see the <strong>number of potential next-level players</strong>, many of whom I'm on the verge of dropping <strong>#D1Lock</strong> upon, yes I'm that good, I had a blast</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2030</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Saniaus Ratcliff</strong> was solid on both ends starting with her "on the ball" pressure in the set as well as baseline to baseline but she also attacked the basket strongly off the dribble to score or dish. Her court vision in the half court along with her ballhandling was nice, she even created her own shot under pressure for the jumper </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ka"Niyah Herring</strong> showed a variety of moves to get the defender off balance including the HEZ to attack the basket and finish after contact. Her body control played a part in that but her mere understanding of how and when to choose what to do was done instinctively. She handled the ball in the open court, zig-zagging by the defenders, she saw the floor and she dropped it from outside </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Amiau Ratcliff</strong> showed good timing to block shots, she even altered some but her "on the ball" defense also helped to create turnovers as used her hands nicely and came away with steals. She also knocked it down from mid to long-range but her step back 3 was very nice</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='876888' first='Trinity' last='Boyd']</strong> showing explosiveness would be an understatement as she came in and immediately changed the momentum and I wrote FEARLESS in CAPS yet no CAP, she went after loose balls and brought "on the ball" heat that had me needing water. Her seeing the floor in the open court as well as in the set was nice, and her blowing by the defender to score acrobatically using the HEZ to get them leaning was a plus yet so was her dropping the long ball with a hand in her face</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ariana Medlock</strong> rebounded and handled the ball coast to coast afterward yet watching her go AFTER the ball off the rim was refreshing and that mindset right there is something you can't teach. She scored around the basket, putbacks included yet she did a good job of not only defending in the paint but her lateral movement was equally impressive guarding outside of it. She also scored off the dribble, finishing after contact</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ashtyn Anzora</strong> does a good job of not only playing within herself but understanding how to get hers "in the flow" and being heady is always a plus because she made good decisions on her passes and hit teammates in traffic. She also used a deceptive first step to attack the rim and her "on-the-ball" pressure was solid </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Zoe Torres</strong> has some nice upside and when you factor in she already has a nice crossover to get by the defender in transition as well as in the set to score off the dribble, those are pluses yet she also showed solid body control on her finishes. Her step back was nice as she dropped the jumper, she also did a good job with the "catch and shoot" </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2031</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kyleigh Williamson</strong> was weaving by defenders effortlessly going full speed and her threading the needle in traffic helped to sew so many things up. Her first step is nice, and she has good body control yet her "on the ball" pressure was smothering at times but keep in mind that she was doing all of this against older talented players which spoke volumes </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
