She moves so effectively on both ends of the court, and I like the way she competes on every play. Reese uses good footwork, collects rebounds, and is unfazed by pressure with or without ball. She works well around the block and can show you some nice post moves. You don’t see many lefties and she is a lefty that can shoot the rock from beyond the arc. Long and athletic, great form when she lets it fly. Creates plays and can set a nice pick and roll.
A strong inside game and doesn’t hesitate to pass the ball to her open teammate. She possesses strong ball handling skills, especially on the low block. She has good footwork, and with that it helps her score over her defender. Her game is continuing to grow and improve. Great wingspan to get some blocked shots.
She positions herself to score and is capable of making the outside shot from behind the arc. She knows where she needs to be on the court every play. She is a wing specialist but will also take the point guard spot as she protects the ball well. Long and aggressive guard with a strong skillset, able to force errors and have active hands to get steals.
With her quickness and agility this girl can fly right past you to score!! She’s very aware of her surroundings and makes smart choices with the ball, when she has the chance to run the floor she takes it. Pushes the ball and can attack the gaps to score at the rim, she can hit her free-throw shots as well as a mid-range jumper. With her not being so tall it doesn’t stop her from getting in the paint to score or grab a rebound or two. Always following her shot.
Excellent skill set with good range from the outside, including a strong pull-up jumper, and she releases the ball with good velocity. She can push the ball to score and doesn’t hesitate to do so. She does a good job of scoring off the pass and gets her shot off fast which makes it difficult for her defender to get a hand in her face.
Very long and athletic player who protects the paint well. With her long arms she is able to get her hands on a lot of steals and when she does she looks up the court for her open teammates. Really pushes the ball if needed and has a nice pull-up shot. It is hard for opponents to attack the paint because she will cause you to make errors, high IQ for the game and makes nice post moves on the block and high post area.
She is quite good at reading the play and defender, will stop you off the dribble, and can convert a turnover into two points. She lifts nicely at the rim and is smooth with her shot. Demonstrates a strong desire to grow and learn the game as she goes so hard every play. She plays aggressive, tough basketball and does a decent job running the floor for her stature. Able to perform a bit of everything in every spot she is put in to play. Is capable of defending any of those positions. She makes her talent known in the paint.
A stealing machine is what she brings to the floor! Active hands and great athleticism, she sees the ball and her defender. Doesn’t let the hard cuts happen in the paint and stops the ball on fast breaks. When she moves down in the paint she stays active on the block with a nice drop-step and hook shot. She can let it fly but does a good job at going to the rim to score, with either hand. Very capable of getting even better as her game continues.
Williams is a very resilient guard with a load of talent! She reacts to passes so quickly that results in her getting steals! When she gets a steal she takes off to score, she can shoot from outside the arc at a distance that is very impressive. Great body control and strong player.
