Williams is “long and athletic” which will always be the base and if you see that over and over that’s because it’s important but so is her going after everything off the rim, on both ends. She’s strong, finishes around the basket, putbacks included after contact but she also attacks the basket and finishes after the lick. Her defense is solid, she also showed good timing to block shots

Poindexter is showing signs of a future Top 100 player because she too falls into that “long and athletic” group and being a guard that can shoot it from mid to long range is a huge plus because NEXT-LEVEL COACHES love that profile. She also scores off the dribble, attacking the basket with either hand and her court-vision is solid

Young has me thinking I should have titles this article “long and athletic” yet her progression on the court will create plenty of NEXT LEVEL buzz so let me start with she’s also over the magic number, which is 6’0 and the magic begins with her improved timing to block, alter and (or) deflect shots. She’s scoring around the basket better, putbacks included, yes she rebounds on both ends but her defense, in and outside the paint is also nice

Murphy is THE GLUE on her squad as she does so many things the novice fan or evaluator will miss. First of all, let me drop the #THROWBACK hashtag as she outrebounds taller players, you can’t teach DESIRE and it doesn’t stop there as she dives on the floor for loose balls. Her “on the ball defense” and playing the passing lane create turnovers, her court vision is solid, she drops the midrange and scores off the dribble
