White showed up and out at the PGH Dynasty Kick-Off Classic and she appears to have grown because asked her what her name was, yeah when a player goes off, I actually get up and find out. Here’s the deal, she moved up a few spots yet SHE AIN’T DONE and I expect her to continue to climb but see evaluation here from this past weekend
Richmond had a solid season and high school and has started off the club season with a bang with her new squad yet her upside still has more growth. She patiently sets the defender up to drop the midrange and her deceptive first step gets her to the basket to finish using solid body control. Her court vision in the set as well as in transition has gotten better yet her ability to score in the flow and making good decisions has always been there. She also is applying heat on the defensive end, not only in the set but baseline to baseline
Kearney is what, 6’4 or 6’5 and “long and athletic” yet her potential is untapped because, how can I say this, her ceiling has no roof. She’s nowhere near the finished product yet she’s finishing stronger around the basket, with either hand and after contact. I enjoyed watching her during the high school season as she rebounded and went coast to coast to score, yeah that’s great, but she changed hands in mid air to score and dropped the MIC for me. Her timing, okay I gave you her height so you should get that but get this, there’s no telling how high she’ll climb with her new club
Highlights
Schmidt is “long and athletic” and can flat out drop it from just about anywhere. I’m enjoying her adding more of the “catch and shoot” with her release becoming quicker, she’s becoming harder to handle because she stands above “the magic number” and next level coaches LOVE big guards that can shoot. I think her attacking the basket and finishing after contact will add more to the attraction, so is her improved “on the ball” defense coupled with playing the passing lane
Highlights
Elder continues to keep me amazed and at times, speechless because her explosiveness is among the best in Texas, but I’ve said that yet she’s an athletic guard that not only uses her athleticism on both ends, but also falls into that “never takes a play off” group. Her going hard creates problems “on the ball” because she helps to create turnovers, quick hands get her steals, so does playing the passing lane but when she blows by defenders to score or dish afterward is a work of art. The jumper is nice, the court vision is nice and when you can change the momentum of a game, from both ends of the court, that’s HUGE
