Schultz has taken her game to yet another level and with her being explosive both off the dribble and elevating for her jumper, she keeps the defender guessing because she can handle the ball and mixes it up nicely. Her body control on her finishes are nice, contact is irrelevant because of her strength yet her court vision both in the set as well as in transition are also nice. She hits the boards, on both ends and her “on the ball” pressure baseline to baseline is also solid
Smith has continued to elevate her game and she falls into The Glue category as she’s has shown she can be relevant as not one of her teams first options because they are DEEP. She can run the 1 well because she understands how to control the tempo, as well as getting others involved, yes she sees the floor well., yet at the flip of the switch, she can score off the dribble, first step is very nice and finish strongly but she also can drop the jumper from outside, with a hand in her face and her pressure defense helps to create turnovers
White is known for knocking down big shots under pressure both for her high school squad as well as her club team and recently at a showcase I tweeted “she has done everything but drop a 3 at the buzzer” and right after she did just that. Her mindset is “you can’t stop me” which is trait I love seeing in players, especially when they can do it, so her mid to long-range as well as scoring off the dribble, after the lick are all solid. Her ballhandling and court vision under pressure are very nice, so is her baseline to baseline pressure
Brown has always shown her desire, on both ends of the court yet her relentlessness on the boards has always been special to see. She goes after everything off the rim, as well as on the floor and her pressure both in and outside the paint is always solid. She falls into the “can also play the 3” based on what I’ve mentioned yet her mid to long range jumper is effective, as well as her scoring off the dribble and finishing after contact. She also has good court vision
