Top 250 Expo - Team Two Evaluations

By Michael Wholey 9/29/23 7:00 PM EST   The Prep Girls Hoops Florida Top 250 Expo took place this past weekend, we break down the performances from the players on team two.      [player_tooltip player_id='664264' first='Zion' last='McRae'] 5'4 Guard (The Villages / Tre Mann Elite) – Class of 2025   <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/09/Zion-McRae-570-1T8A0013.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-774749" style="width:187px;height:281px" width="187" height="281" /></figure>       McCrae showed her ability to let it fly from deep by knocking down 3s early.  She is a combo guard that has deep range and is a high-volume shooter.  She was one of the most aggressive players on offensive end of the floor, attacking off the bounce, getting to the paint and to the rim and looking for her shot every time she got a touch.  She does a good job squaring to the rim and is very explosive off the bounce, using hesitation move often to get defenders to rise and get to rim.      [player_tooltip player_id='521332' first='Hallie' last='Stokes'] 5'9 Guard (Windermere Prep / OBC) – Class of 2025   Stokes is a combo guard who has a well-rounded offensive skill set putting it to the floor and showcasing her outside shooting ability.      [player_tooltip player_id='770080' first='Jessica' last='Carreras'] 5'9 Guard (SW Miami Sr HS) – Class of 2024   Carrera is a lefty guard that plays best off the ball.  She uses change of speed and change of direction when putting the ball to the floor.      [player_tooltip player_id='767590' first='Alaysha' last='Williams'] 5'6 Guard (Edward H White / Julian Wood Academy) – Class of 2025   <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/09/Alaysha-Williams-579-1T8A0038.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-774748" style="width:193px;height:290px" width="193" height="290" /></figure>     Williams played very aggressive and showcased her strength and power from the perimeter.  She wants to play up tempo and push the tempo by attacking baseline to baseline.  Without the ball in her hands, she runs the floor hard, often getting easy buckets by outhustling her opponents.  As a perimeter player, she goes to boards consistently and rebounds the ball well.  Williams was very aggressive in game # 2 and did great job getting into the paint, going right both to score and create shots for her teammates.        [player_tooltip player_id='765152' first='Allyson' last='Cunningham'] 5'7 Guard (Horizon / Infinity Basketball) – Class of 2024   Cunningham is a long, lanky wing / forward who is a bit uncoordinated.  She gives good effort and does a good job keeping her opponent in front of her and out of the paint on the defensive end.          [player_tooltip player_id='677834' first='Delaney' last='Cronin'] 6'2 Forward (Boca Raton Christian School / BD Thunder) – Class of 2025   Cronin is a long post that is still growing into her body.  As a post, she is learning to move and run the floor efficiently.  Her length and wingspan are impactful, but she needs to play tougher and more aggressive in the paint to compete in a showcase such as this.      [player_tooltip player_id='766316' first='Maleeya' last='Brammer'] 6'1 Wing / Forward (Gulf Breeze / Alabama Southern Starz) – Class of 2026   <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/09/Maleeya-Brammer-617-1T8A0106.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-774747" style="width:148px;height:222px" width="148" height="222" /></figure>     Brammer was very effective when she got the ball in her hands and had an opportunity to score with her back to the basket as well as face up.  She is a skilled offensive player that can play inside and out.  In a basketball era where low post play is becoming extinct, it was refreshing to watch Brammer fight for low post position and showcase moves with her back to basket, finishing left and right.        Piper Ashley and [player_tooltip player_id='349379' first='Priyanka' last='Alibhai'] did not participate in the event.        Michael Wholey is the lead scout for Florida Prep Girls Hoop Florida and a former division one Assistant Coach at American University, University of Memphis, and Georgia Tech.  Wholey and the rest of the Prep Girls Hoop staff, seek to cover the entire state of player, keeping subscribers up to date with player evaluations, recruiting info, and statewide news.  Our audience often supplies us with some of our best information.  If you have any information on players, teams, or statewide news in the state of Florida, emailing Michael Wholey at WholeyPrepHoops@gmail.com or DM him through Twitter or Instagram @WholeyPrepHoops.
