Continue ReadingI was able to watch a couple of games that I got on YouTube from the Top 250 Expo. I saw some great things from quite a few players. Some familiar names and some not so familiar. Here is the first part in what will be a couple articles Highliting the top players I saw from three teams.
An obvious rankings riser. One of the most impressive players in the two games I was able to watch her play. She is no doubt a rankings riser. She was decisive and quick with the drive. She has good athleticism and size. She moves her feet well on defense. She was most impressive with some tough takes to the basket. She finished with control and strength in traffic. She can also hit the three. She has good shot mechanics. She was great in both games.
Jaleigha was MVP type caliber in the two games I watched. She is extremely quick. She changes speeds well and had several blow byes to the basket for layups. She can shoot it from three. She is a skilled guard who has the speed and physical tools that are college ready. The most college ready player I saw in these two games and it wasn’t that close. Explosive player!
Isabella was impressive with her ability to drive the basketball. She showed no hesitation and took it hard to the basket. She has good length and is a good athlete. She handles the ball well. She rebounded. She had some nice assists. She has great upside and potential to be a big rankings riser.
Tons of upside here. She is extremely long and mobile. You might think back to the basket post player. Not true, she can do that and does but she stepped out and hit at least three triples. She was impressive on the glass and active. She showed some nice footwork. A prospect that could be on the rise in 2024.
Highlights
Paige was as advertised with her great floor game and high basketball IQ. She has all the tools you want in a guard. She can shoot the lights out. She handles it well. She is better athlete than I had thought after watching these two games. She plays under control and makes the right basketball plays almost always.rn
Highlights
I wasn’t sure she could shoot it any better than she did last year at the Expo. I might have been wrong. She nailed her first three shots from deep in the one game I saw her play. She appears to be a better athlete and quicker than last year. She has gotten better and that’s saying a lot since she was my Expo MVP last year after averaging over 30 points per game in the showcase. rn

Yet another weapon for Sumner. She showed a lot of promise with her length and physical tools. She has some talent on the offensive end and can be a great defender. She runs the floor, and seems to be comfortable around the basket. She converted on the ones she got close to the rim with ease. Big upside.
