#ShowNProve23 Immediate Takeaways

<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">It has been a minute since I have been to a #ShowNProve camp, and the last time I was in the building, I was a Lead Trainer. Coming back felt very good, and seeing how much the camp had grown was a joy to see. Girls from across the country gathered in Tavares, FL, to put their talent on display. Coach Kimberly Davis-Powell continues to provide a stage for players to be trained and evaluated by the best in the game. Here are a few players that I couldn't wait to write about...&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='248447' first='Sofia' last='Munoz']&nbsp;</strong>(5'8/CG/'25/Central Pointe)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Sofia had a great showing at #ShowNProve23. She only attended the first day, but that was all she needed to make her mark. She is a guard that can play on the ball and off. She did her most damage when she was at the off-guard position and looking to get hers. She did not go about it in a manner that would turn you off, but she was able to do it within the flow of the game. She has a nice game off the bounce as she is really quick with the rock in her hands. She doesn't do a lot of dancing with the ball, but she prefers to make one move and get to her spots. She is very intentional in her attacks, knows how to get to her spots, and does an excellent job scoring once she is there. She has a controlled handle and has an exquisite feel and understanding of the game. She will be a key piece to Central Pointe's success this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Devyn Riggins&nbsp;</strong>(6'0/F|C/'25/Miami Senior HS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: _d_devyn_</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X/Twitter: @DarienDoe</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Devyn has good positional size and was really active in the interior. She is a low-post presence that impacted both ends of the floor. I really would love to see her in an atmosphere where the passing skills of the guard play was a little better because she was working really hard to establish post position; the RBA logo was showing, and yet the guards often failed to make the post-entry pass. Devyn could have easily hung her head and complained, but she did not allow those moments to affect her ability to contribute. Devyn found a way to produce in the scoring column by having monster games on the offensive boards and scoring off put-backs. Her activity on the glass and her ability to clog up the middle on defense allowed her to impact the game without going about it in a traditional low-block post-up manner.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='945413' first='Anyla' last='Parker']&nbsp;</strong>(5'6/PG/'29/Excel Christian Academy)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: A.PtheKidpreneur</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X/Twitter: @APtheKidpreneur</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">After the first 5v5 game, Anyla's name made its way quickly around the gym, and some even mentioned that she might be the #1 player in her class nationally. When I was able to get my eyes on her, I was very impressed with her overall game at her age. She has a high skill set for her age and is extremely fundamental in the basic areas of passing, dribbling, and shooting. She has an IQ beyond her age, a quick release, excellent court vision, court awareness, balances scoring and facilitating, and plays with a nice pace. She has all the promise of a star in the making. Thankfully, from listening to a conversation with her mom and dad, she has parents who will be able to guide her on the path that is before her, so I don't see her straying away from keeping the important things, such as education, working hard, taking time to rest, playing the game the right way, and respecting the game, as her priority. A lot of ink will be forthcoming regarding Anyla, so get ready.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1092442' first='London' last='Thomas']&nbsp;</strong>(5'10/PG/'28/Dillard)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: taylorsingery</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X/Twitter: @Taylorsingery</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">I have put ink on London before, and I must say that she showed improvement since the last time I laid eyes on her. She is listed as a PG, and if that is her primary position right now, then she can be looked upon as a score-first PG. She is able to create her own shot and is very tough to contain in iso situations. She is a multi-level scorer, but her strength right now is knifing through defenses and finishing in the paint and at the cup. She is an impressive player for her age and will be considered one of the top players in her class over the next few years. Look for her name to be mentioned on a national platform, as she showed that level of promise.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='900318' first='Kayla' last='Greyvensteyn']&nbsp;</strong>(5'10/G/'25/Cardinal Gibbons)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: Kaylagrey333</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X/Twitter: @Kaylabball333</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Kayla has good positional size and showed a lot of versatility on both ends of the floor. Offensively, she played with the ball in her hands at the lead guard position most of the time. She is highly skilled, and in a camp where passing became a topic of focus, she was one of the better passing guards in all divisions. Defensively, she guarded multiple positions and was a vocal leader on the court. She made the All-Skills game and is playing with a lot of confidence heading into the upcoming season. As she continues to develop, consistency with her perimeter jumper and improvement with her lateral movement will be a must.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Victoria Boyer&nbsp;</strong>(5'8/Wing/'29/Lincoln Park Academy)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: pippib23</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X/Twitter: @LaurieB1723</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Victoria had a nice showing at camp as she showed her scoring prowess, especially from behind the arc. She is a player that can flat-out score the rock. Along with being able to score it from deep, she is a tough shot-maker off the bounce. You would think that taking tough shots would impact her efficiency, but she was very efficient with her opportunities. For Victoria, it boiled down to the fact that she just has a knack for scoring the rock. Now, as much of a threat as she was, she showed her ability to set the table for her teammates and drop dimes that led to easy buckets. She gave great effort on both ends of the floor as she was active with her hands on D. She showed some inconsistencies, but hey, she is just a 7th grader.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
