Continue ReadingTaliyah is rounding back into her regular form after sitting some time due to an injury. She is as athletic in the county as they come from the wing spot. Her motor is nonstop and you’ll be hard pressed to find a player that works as hard. She likes to get downhill and once she gets going, she’s a load to handle. She is also a good defender that can get the rebound and go coast to coast with it.
Savanna has an all-around game that has taken off as of late. She loves to get to the mid-range and score it but her three-point shot is improving as well. Dotray is physical enough to get into the lane and finish through contact. Her passing has gotten so good that she is more like a point forward.
Highlights
Guidry should have a breakout spring/summer coming up. She is a versatile forward that can also swing to the backcourt. Her first step is too quick for taller players, and she is too good inside for smaller players. Navae is the type of player that doesn’t need many plays ran for her. She has a good feel for the ball and gets easy buckets within the flow of the game.
Maci is a lefty wing that loves to attack the basket. She can absorb the contact and finish strong. She also has the ability to hit the mid-range jump shot with consistency. She rarely takes bad shots and is a good passer. Hess also rebounds very well from her wing position.
McGadney has an offensive game that has steadily improved over the last few years. She is alot more confident in her ball handling and shooting ability. With her athletic ability, this makes her a very difficult cover for defenses. On defense, she is among the best around and it often leads to easy offense for her. She’s one that could make a big leap in production moving forward.
