State: Michigan
School: Wayne Memorial

Bryant is like the ice storm that gets kids a day off of school. Nobody wants to take on that level of slickness. Her handles are different level good and she can use them to create space and get a step on the defense. Bryant is an expert at wrong-footing her defender and attacking off the bounce.

Evaluations are normally subscriber-only but when an athlete subscribes, theirs becomes free for all readers. Subscribing doesn't change who the Scout covers, it changes who gets to see it.
