She is a creative bucket-getter who is one of the best at getting her own shot off the dribble. She's very patient in setting up her defenders and she does not get sped up. She never looks like she's in a hurry, even when she's blowing by someone on the drive. She is quick to get to the rim for a layup and she can pull up and hit the mid-range. She will also knock down the 3-pointer from the corner.   ******   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/03/25684B31-E5CB-4BB9-8E41-24B5B21459B5.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-621822" /></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='194395' first='Kaylynn' last='Janes'] (Incarnate Word): The 5'11" 2024 forward had a strong performance in the Red Knights' victory over Lutheran-St. Charles. She scored 13 points and showcased her smooth shooting stroke from distance as she hit three 3-pointers. KJ also put the ball on the floor and scored on a couple of impressive drives to the basket.   ******   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/06/IMG_2948-2.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-678227" /></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='194409' first='Chantrel' last='Clayton'] (Vashon): The 5'8" point guard scored a game-high 20 points in the Wolverines loss to Pattonville. As usual, "Tutu" was cooking from all three levels as she can also create her own shot whenever she wants with her smooth handles. In addition to her potent scoring, she has assumed much more playmaking duties as she did a good job of distributing the ball. If she gets a double team, she will make the right play and find the open teammate.     *****     <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/12/IMG_8709.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-829134" /></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='366817' first='Zoe' last='Best'] (Incarnate Word): The 5'10" forward had a strong all-around game against Lutheran-St. Charles as she had nine points, six rebounds, four assists and four steals. She was also one of the primary defenders against Lutheran standout [player_tooltip player_id='302779' first='Jordan' last='Speiser']. She played with her usual high energy at both ends of the court. She's always running in transition and she plays the passing lanes on the perimeter and can also guard taller players in the low post with her quickness and high motor.     ******     <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/01/IMG_9340.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-842416" /></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='414599' first='Mya' last='Mann'] (Ladue): The 5'6" guard scored a game-high 15 points in the Rams' loss to Chatham-Glenwood. She drained a couple of 3-pointers in the game, which is her strength. She also has good quickness to get into the lane off the dribble. She did a good job of drawing contact and getting herself to the free throw line, where she made six of her eight attempts.   ******     <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/01/IMG_9420.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-842421" /></figure>   Londan Harris (Huntsville Lee): A 5'4" guard from Alabama who scored 15 points in Lee's narrow loss to Lift for Life. She's not very tall, but she has tremendous strength and she plays much bigger than her actual height. She has a tremendous motor that never seemed to stop. She did most of her offensive damage around the basket and she was getting buckets in traffic. She was also very effective on the drive.   ******     <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/01/IMG_9427.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-842422" /></figure>   Lamiya Batima (Huntsville Lee): The 5'8" forward scored 18 points and led Lee from a 19-point deficit to a near victory over Lift for Life. She was really tough to stop around the basket and she was wheeling and dealing for buckets in the lane. She was also getting offensive rebounds on putbacks as she displayed great second and third effort inside.
