The rankings have seen some some newcomers stake their claim as top players in the state of New York. Let’s take a look at the next batch of new additions to the Senior class.
#20
Cerf is one of the most dynamic prospects in the state. What stands out about her is feel for the game, and how she can take over a game when the time arises. She has great basketball IQ and court vision as a point guard/facilitator and always makes the right play. She can laser rope passes through traffic and in transition effortlessly. She is undersized, but plays tough, hard nosed defense and utilizes her quickness to close out/deflect passes/and cause turnovers on the perimeter. On the offensive end is where Cerf is most dangerous. She is shifty, quick, and has great handle to cook defenders and finish at all three levels.
#24
Shields has put together quite a season which saw her take New York by storm.She has a polished game where she can impact the game on both ends of the floor. Her pull up from the perimeter is a thing of beauty and she shoots it with extreme confidence. Shields loves to run the floor, has fluid mechanics and a relatively quick release on her shot. She plays a physically bruising style of basketball in the paint, has elite footwork to get by you, and is not afraid of drawing contact when slashing to the paint. With more reps and offseason development, she can position herself to be a key contributor at the next level.
#41
Moore is one of my favorite players in this class. She’s a swiss army knife on a loaded South Shore team and a integral piece to their success. She does a lot of things very well and plays will adapt and play to her strenghts within the team system. Can handle and distribute the rock efficiently, push the pace on the break, and is not afraid to crash the boards. Perhaps her most underestimated skill is her ability to defend. She has great athleticism and footwork to fight through screens and close out to contest shots, she sees the floor well and uses her quickness to anticipate turnover opportunities .
Highlights
#32
Littlefield is one of my favorite players in the state, she was dominant her senior year averaging 24 points per game. Littlefield is a gamer and knows how to play winning basketball. Her game is reminscent of Cynthia Cooper. Has a knack for making the right play and getting a bucket when her team needs it. Had great handle and footwork to create space for herself. Whichever college she ends up committing to is going to be very lucky.
#40
Thompson is headed to SUNY-Brockport to play her college ball and could end up at the D1 level before it’s all said and done. She is an inside-outside threat on the offensive end with her ability to space the court. She can shoot, post up, and play off the pick and roll extremely well. On the defensive end, she’s very active with creating turnovers off double teams and switches. She’s super competitive and puts the team above everything else.
