<p>With women's basketball growing as fast as it is, quite a few prospects came to the attention of scouts for the first time. For many as it was our first time seeing them in person. </p>

<p><br><strong>Here we highlight more of the top newcomers.</strong> </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='788468' first='Diamond' last='Stevenson'] <strong>Deer Valley</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Stevenson is a downhill wing that's hard to stop once she gets going towards the rim. Her athletic ability is next level. This athletic ability also allows her to defend multiple positions at a high level. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='788272' first='Juliet' last='Botiller'] <strong>Bourgade Catholic</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Juliet is a smooth point guard who displays a good change of pace which enables her to keep the defends off balance. She has a good outside shot that extends out to the three-point line. She is an above average rebounder for her position.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='791154' first='Ahmya' last='Thomas'] [program_tooltip program_id='713210' first='Bella' last='Vista Prep']</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Ahmya is a quick guard that can be a pest on both sides of the court. On offense she can hit the three or go by the defender to create for others. On defense, she has the foot speed to cover 94 feet. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='788014' first='Isabella' last='Jensen'] <strong>Dobson</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jensen quietly is very efficient from her forward position. She can step out and hit the mid-range jump shot as well as post up smaller players. She is a very good rebounder and isn't afraid to throw her body around on the defensive end. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='860639' first='Melicia' last='Nelson'] <strong>Window Rock</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Nelson is a confident guard who fills the stat sheet consistently. She can get the rebound and push the ball. She doesn't shoot many 3's but her mid-range game is good enough to where she doesn't have to. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='850054' first='Jailynn' last='Clayton'] [program_tooltip program_id='713512' first='AZ' last='Compass'] </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Clayton is a nice guard prospect with good ball handling ability. She gets into the teeth of the defense easy and knows how to finish. On defense she has good instincts and has active hands. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='859499' first='Kayla' last='Adams'] <strong>Hamilton</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Adams is a very good point guard with the ability to push the ball when needed. She doesn't make many unforced errors. She doesn't look to shoot the ball often, but she knows where her teammates like to receive the ball in order to get good shots. </p>
