<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this article, we look at more guard standouts from the ENG Power 80 Showcase. There were a lot of talented players in the building and these players made an impression. This article is a “fastbreak” look at other standout guards at the event. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='430270' first='Abigail' last='Quinn'] was a very impressive guard at the Showcase and that's nothing new. Quinn has always been an impressive guard to watch on the court. She is a point guard who takes control when on the court. In addition to the game, she has great confidence and leadership qualities. Quinn can score on all levels, but she is at her best when she puts the defender on their heels, attacks the rim, and finishes. She was one of the top point guards in the building.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='730186' first='Ava' last='Graham'] played well on offense and defense.&nbsp; &nbsp; Several plays come to mind, including one where she caught an errant pass, gathered herself, and finished on the reverse side of the rim.&nbsp; Graham was always around the ball and in addition to scoring,&nbsp; she made some nice assists and covered her opponent all 94 feet on defense.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='788673' first='Serene' last='Exalant'] left a good impression with her play on the courts, especially in the transition game.&nbsp; Exalant was very athletic and had great speed on the court. &nbsp; She rebounded one ball and went Coast to Coast leaving everyone behind. She finished at the rim and on one play, it looked like a dunk was in the making with her explosiveness. Exalant played excellent defense and had the ability to harass the ball handlers and play in the passing lanes. She was an exciting player to watch and looking forward to following her this upcoming season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='248287' first='Kiyana' last='Hunter'] had some nice moments at the Showcase, especially in transition and full-court press break. Hunter has good handles and good speed. She had a lot of players in chase mode and drew a lot of help side defensive help. She made some nice passes to shooters and post players and got to the rim several times to get to the free-throw line. One coach commented on Hunter's speed and decision-making on the court. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='788707' first='Samantha' last='Lecas'] had some nice moments at the Showcase and showed a lot of versatility in her game.&nbsp; She can shoot the three with the best of them, but showed a lot of other parts of her game that were impressive.&nbsp; She can handle the ball,&nbsp; has great speed on the court, and runs the floor well with the ball or without the ball. &nbsp; She does a good job of taking command of the offense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='788717' first='Lilly' last='Futz'] was an impressive guard at the showcase.&nbsp; Futz did a lot of good things and is an all-around good player who made contributions all over the court.&nbsp; Futz can really shoot the ball from anywhere on the court. &nbsp; At the showcase, she showed great court vision and made some nice passes to cutting teammates. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='788719' first='Delaney' last='Beighley'] was making plays all over the court at the showcase. &nbsp; She rebounded well,&nbsp; ran the point position well, made good decisions, and was just an “effort-beast” on the floor. Beighley did have a nice shot as well, but it was her intangibles that stood out. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='765151' first='Jayla' last='Greene'] had some nice plays at the showcase.&nbsp; Greene is a versatile baller who does a little of everything on the court.&nbsp; She knocked down some threes,&nbsp; attacked the rim,&nbsp; got to the free-throw line, and made plays for her teammates as well.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='788718' first='Sumayah' last='McIntosh'] Grey stood out at the showcase. She handled the ball well, played solid defense in the paint against the bigs, and was also on the perimeter defending guards. McIntosh was extremely athletic and one play comes to mind where she caught a long pass on the break and exploded to the rim on the left side with a beautiful layup. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='248272' first='Na'Chauna' last='Welch'] did a good job running the point at the showcase. Welch showed exceptional speed on the court and always kept the defense on its heels. She was a selfless player who passed the ball to open teammates and also created shots for her teammates. Welch got to the rim often and had some nice conversions. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
