Alexis is a smooth guard that can freeze defenders with shot fakes and dribble moves in the half-court. Because of that, Alexis is able to draw a second defender, resulting in a teammate being left open for easy looks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='391108' first='Jadyn' last='Montoya'] | Midrange Slasher | Bullet Passer</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This past season, Montoya made 30 appearances for the Jaguars, averaging 12.5 PPG and 1.9 APG respectively. Jadyn can play both on-ball/off-ball, giving Valencia flexibility with rotations and lineups. The CG makes quick decisions and has a knack for scoring — 375 PTS — especially when getting into the lane. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='391323' first='Mila' last='Espinoza'] | Floor Spacing Slasher | Bullet Passer</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In 2022-23, Mila appeared in 31 games for the Hawks, scoring 363 total points which averaged out to 11.7 PPG. The pesky guard is not just a shooter — 49 3PM — Espinoza is sneaky good at putting the ball on the floor and creating in the half-court — 1.5 APG </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Audri Wright | Floor Spacing Slasher | Floor General</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wright is one of those players that makes it easier for teammates by maximizing minutes on the floor with consistent play on both ends. This past season, Audri averaged 11 PPG to go along with 2.7 assists in 29 games played. Wright continues to improve in catch &amp; shoot situations primarily from the 3-point line. A season ago, Wright connected on 44 triples. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='391104' first='Hope' last='Giddings'] | Inside-Out Playmaker | Dimer</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In 30 games played, Hope put up a cool 14.4 PPG and 1.6 APG for Sandia. Although comfortable operating on the block and with her back to the basket, Giddings also can also light it up from behind the arc. Giddings finished with 44 3PM on the year, displaying the ability to score the rock in a variety of ways — 433 total points in 2022-23. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='391320' first='Zaria' last='Gomez'] | Midrange Slasher | Bullet Passer</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A budding guard who can create for herself and others. A season ago, Zaria posted 8.2 PPG and 2 assists for the Monarchs, appearing in 24 games. Not reliant on the 3ball, Gomez takes a high volume of midrange shots for Manzano, giving them a different dynamic on offense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
