If rosters weren’t available, I kept it moving so if I missed someone or the name wasn’t correct, that’s probably why yet here we go to get the ball rolling on those playing up
Dallas is one of the most powerful guards I’ve seen in her class so far yet when you factor in her body control after attacking the basket, the list becomes shorter. She has that “you can’t guard me” mindset and when you add that she can score from outside, that gives her options and keeps the defender guessing. She also does a good job rebounding and can go coast to coast to score or dish yet her court vision is solid across the board, so is her “on the ball” defense
Grigsby may not be the correct name for the Texas U up and coming player but let me say this, she’s “long and athletic” which is and always will be the base and her upside is, how can I say this, scary. She has the “hands and footwork” around the basket down, she appears to be around “the magic number” which is 6’0 yet the magic doesn’t stop there as her timing to block shots had me smiling. She ca score off the dribble, she can drop the midrange but her TOUCHDOWNS the length of the court SCORED
Johnson has those initials I love to use in a variety of ways such as JJ is bringing Good Times because she is DYNOMITE but watching her light the match to get by defenders and score is telling me she will be EXPLODING in the not too distant future. She’s a #sizedontmatter guard that is fearless and her “on the ball” pressure is smothering at times yet she can create her shot and drop it from outside, her “catch and shoot” is also solid, so is her upside
Robinson has the IT factor and is a NATIONAL player, she showed that years ago when I dropped that ever so important #D1Lock on her. She’s another powerful guard that scores however she chooses yet her attacking the basket and finishing after contact, with either hand, against next level players was one of the things that separated her earlier. She can drop it from mid to long-range, defend baseline to baseline and has good court vision
Highlights
Smith is a talented guard that understands the importance of using her athleticism on both ends. She’s heady and crafty with the ball so her deceptive first step to attack off the dribble is important, not only because of her body control after contact but it gives her options that keep the defender guessing because she can drop it from mid to long-range. She’s poised under pressure, doesn’t mind having the ball in clutch situation and she deliver by scoring or making the right pass for assist opportunities
Highlights
Seal falls into a category many next level coaches love, she’s a big guard that can flat out shoot it. She stands above “the magic number” and with her wingspan, that 6’1 turns into 6’3 easily. I enjoyed watching her show more than just dropping the 3 ball as she sliced to the basket to score and did a good job hitting the boards and handling the ball afterward. Her “on the ball” pressure has improved, so has her court vision in transition yet her upside is still high
