Berlin is a terrific talent at Canton High School. She has the looks of an instant impact player. Berlin’s post defense could be a huge factor for her team this year. Opponents will have to be very aware of her ability to alter shots and make good looks turn bad. She has a versatile offensive game that can provide some tough mismatches.
Michigan Center has sort of a history in developing some high level talent. Gaddy seems like the perfect player to continue that tradition. She’s an instant impact lead guard that will be influencing Michigan City girls basketball for the next 4 years. Gaddy is a high basketball IQ player and a high percentage decision maker with the ball in her hands.
McGregor is a tough guard with a varsity ready game. She can take the ball to the rim with physicality and finish with a pretty little scoop. Playing through contact at the high school will not be an issue for McGregor. She can penetrate the lane and make plays from there in addition to scoring. McGregor drives with her head up and can deliver a nice dump off pass and kick out to open shooters.
Cass Tech is very talented and has a lot of quality depth on it’s roster. But don’t look past this talented freshman. Shell will have the chance over the next 4 years to be a primetime player in the Metro Detroit area. She’s a lightning quick lead guard that takes pride in her ability to defend with pressure and distribute the ball with timing and accuracy.
