Graham had a nice season last year on her way to averaging 13.6 on 45% shooting. She only made 24 3s on 26% shooting, but the fact she made 70% of her FTs (made 102 total) tells me her touch is soft enough to become a 3pt shooter.
Highlights
Love this kid’s stat line from last year. Averaged 12.4 pts on 47% shooting while facing many doubles and digs. I love that she stepped out and hit 19 3s on 38 % which is really promising. Her 94 made FTs at 74% also tell me that Branam has the touch to be a legit stretch 5.
Hurst only averaged 11 points last year on 45% shooting. She’s looking to take a real jump this year as her game is much more diversified and much more polished. She’s a proven 3 point shooter, and hit 26 3s last year at 36%. She only made 52 FTs (means she needs to get more physical at the rim), but did shoot then at 75% which means her touch is fantastic.
Hastings was forced into a scoring role last season that her efficiency numbers couldn’t quite keep up with. She averaged 11.3 points, but only only 35% shooting. And while she hit 44 3’s, she did so on only 28 %. She has all the tools to make a jump to 15-16 points as her percentages improve.
Mastin is a PG that puts up perfectly efficient numbers. I love fans to see stats of a kid that isn’t trying to force anything. 9.3 points per game on 47% shooting. 34 made threes this season on 37%. Those are the numbers of a role player that is always ready to take advantage of a defensive breakdown, but the action doesn’t have to run through them.
