I have these young ladies listed as POWER FORWARDS for a reason as they showed they could get the job done inside the paint, POWERFULLY so here you go
Dangerfield got plenty of respect from me off the top, you probably won’t catch that yet her being “long and athletic” which will always be the base immediately stood out because of her energy, yes the #THROWBACK intangibles matter. She applied heat on both ends of the floor, meaning she understands how to use her athleticism on offense and defense and with her standing at “the magic number” those qualities already mentioned are definite next level attractions. She goes hard after rebounds, on both ends, she also finished strongly around the basket, putbacks included, and she scored with te short jumper as well as off the dribble
Highlights
Green captured my attention at the PGH Top 250 Showcase and left a lasting first impression as I placed her on my Elite 8 squad as she simply took me back to yesteryear by doing simple things that are actually big so I dropped that #THROWBACK hashtag on her. Hands and footwork will always grab my attention, she even showed the “drop step” yet she also did a good job on positioning around the basket which helped her rebound on both ends. She even handled the ball in the open court after rebounding, she attacked the basket to score from multiple spots plus she showed she could drop it from outside
Saddler’s last name was spelled incorrectly by me, twice, yet that is what I call a correctable error and since I used some football terminology, she actually scored a TOUCHDOWN at The Opening, using what I’ve mentioned several times at, #THROWBACK things from another era. There is nothing like leaving a lasting first impression, she’s poised and under control around the basket and understands how to get hers “in the flow” on the offensive end yet rebounding, starting the outlet and running the floor are always pluses, so is her “interior defense”
Williams was singing a different tune and her being “long and athletic” as well as showing a lot of progression at Texas Ladies Jamboree had me smiling. She went after everything, off the rim, on both ends, as well as loose balls in the air as well as on the floor which are all #THROWBACK type things yet her powerful finishes, at times with players literally hanging on her had me smiling, as did her defense both in and outside the paint. Applying heat “on the ball” at her size and wingspan is huge, so was her timing to block, alter and (or) deflect shots yet she still has some scary upside
