#PGHTop250ExpoGA: A Look Into Team 10

<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">I had a chance to evaluate Team 10 at the #PGHTop250ExpoGA, and here are my thoughts on the squad and their performance…</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":788858,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/10/PGH-Paris-Shelton.jpg?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-788858" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='790253' first='Paris' last='Shelton']</strong> (5'5/G/'25/Tri-cities) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: pshelton2</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X/Twitter: @parishoopfr</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Paris is a small guard who kept her team out in transition. She showed a high skillset and definitively left her mark on the offensive end of the floor. She had it all working as she was cooking in the scoring column and displaying her wizard-like handles. She was one of the toughest players to deal with in iso situations. She is a gifted ball-handler and a gifted scorer who knows how to use her handles to create the space she needs to get quality looks. She puts defenders in a quandary as you cannot give her space, or she will pull up from deep with the nice lefty stroke, and you cannot try to get in her space as she is just too quick with her first step. She is a player to keep an eye on over the next two years.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":788864,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/10/PGH-Taylor-Harris.jpg?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-788864" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='335881' first='Taylor' last='Harris']</strong> (5'8/F/'25/Langston Hughes) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: Taylor_simone</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X/Twitter: @Harris5_taylor</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Taylor plays the game with a good feel and understanding. She lives low on both ends of the floor, which makes her difficult to defend and to get by off the bounce. She is a multi-level scorer, a crafty passer, and very heady. Taylor was difficult to contain off the bounce as her speed combined with her handles helped her to get to her spots where she was most comfortable. Her straight-line speed was impressive and really bothered defenders as she was able to draw numerous fouls on defenders trying to contain her. She showed a lot of promise as a floor-general.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":788872,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/10/PGH-Kennedy-Bradshaw.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-788872" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='476493' first='Kennedy' last='Bradshaw']</strong> (5'9/G/'26/CFCA) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: ihoop._ken</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X/Twitter: @kennedybradsha7</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Kennedy was in attack mode from the moment she stepped on the floor. She had an aggressive mindset and constantly got to the paint and scored or dished off the rock. She was very active on the glass, and when she rebounded the defensive board, she quickly got out in transition. She forced defenders to get back on D; otherwise, she was going to be getting an easy path to the cup. Her aggressiveness off the bounce was her calling card and separated her from others.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":788873,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/10/PGh-Caroline-Young.jpg?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-788873" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='727051' first='Caroline' last='Young']</strong> (5'11/SF/'26/Milton HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X/Twitter: @CarolineYo</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Caroline is a lengthy wing player who caught my attention with her play on the defensive end of the floor. She moved well in her defensive slides, was vocal, and was able to defend multiple positions. She showed her versatility, which was enhanced by her length. Her activity on the glass made her a key piece to the team because she did all the little things to help her team in their winning pursuits.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":788874,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/10/PGH-Allie-Duke.jpg?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-788874" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='335862' first='Allie' last='Duke']</strong> (5'11/SG/'25/Calhoun HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: allieduke._</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X/Twitter: @allieduke16</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Allie has good positional size and was very active on both ends of the floor. There was nothing flashy to her game; she was just a solid overall player. She contributes as a shooter, passer, and driver and is reliable in all three aspects. Allie is a lengthy defender who created problems with her wingspan, particularly when defending on-ball. She is a sure presence on the court and impacts winning.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":788875,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/10/PGH-Ansley-King.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-788875" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Ansley King</strong> (5'11/F/'26/Meigs County) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X/Twitter: @ainsleyk2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Ansley, who is embarking upon her sophomore season, was a beast on the glass. She had flashes where her youth showed and flashes where her game appeared beyond her years. She was very active on the glass, as her length was a factor in that area. She posted hard on the low block and did a good job maneuvering around the interior seeking position. She moved well without the ball, which made her more difficult to defend. She showed she could stretch the floor as she knocked down the trey ball, and her production will increase more on the offensive end when she gets more consistent with finishing inside.   </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":788876,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/10/PGH-Justyce-McCoy.jpg?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-788876" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='790244' first='Justyce' last='McCoy']</strong> (5'6/G/'26/Brookwood) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: Justyce.mccoy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X/Twitter: @JustyceMcCoy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Justyce had the bag open throughout the day. She thrived in transition, and whether leading the break or running lanes, she was getting out and up the court quickly. When the ball is in her hands, she has one thing in mind: to get downhill and get to the cup. There is a lot to like about her game as she showed her ability to score from the perimeter and create her own shot and shots for others off the bounce. She took no prisoners as she was in attack mode, especially when she smelled blood in the water, and kept coming and keeping defenders going backward and offering little resistance with their on-ball defense.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
