Running the Point to Perfection

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These PG's are ready to turn up the heat this summer! They call the shots, execute plays and run the show. Here are six names you need to know going into the April live period:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='677601' first='Lola' last='McGonigle'] | Comets</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lola is fresh off arguably the greatest freshman season in Wildwood Catholic hoops history. Her court vision is second to none and her 3-point shooting is even better! When she gets clicking, there's little a defender can do to stop her. She sees the floor remarkably well, especially in transition, setting up her teammates for success by dishing some sweet dimes. Lola never looks fazed and doesn't let the defense speed her up and take her out of her element.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='525308' first='Sabrina' last='Little'] | NJ Soldiers</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A scrappy, fiery and versatile guard, Sabrina can play both the 1 and 2 equally as efficiently. Her role running point, however, is where she excels because of her sheer athleticism, strong ball-handling and ability to execute some impressive passes. I would label her as a score-first PG, because if the shot is there, you better believe she's going to take it. She can score it from just about anywhere on the floor, whether it's a deep 3 or taking a defender off the bounce and laying it in for 2.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Emma Bruno-Dunn | Jersey Gemz</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the best 2028's around, EBD has a loaded arsenal! She is swaggy and shifty with the ball, attacks hard off the bounce and has footwork that even some seasoned hoopers would envy. Her vision is impressive as she dribbles with her head up, constantly scanning the floor to drop dimes and set her teammates up for scoring opportunities. Her skillset and sharp basketball acumen will surely lift the Gemz Jr. EYBL team to great heights this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='522661' first='Nicholle' last='Green'] | Philly Belles</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With handles that put defenders on skates, Nicci does a great job creating space and staying in attack mode. She excels at breaking down the defense and running opponents ragged with her agility and shiftiness. Whether she's attacking the rim, knocking down big buckets from deep or executing the drive-and-kick, she is constantly putting her team in positions to win big games against strong teams.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='976676' first='Katie' last='Dichter'] | [program_tooltip program_id='714654' first='NJ' last='Shoreshots']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Katie is a dazzling pass-first PG with excellent timing and even better execution. Her distribution along the perimeter is quick, sharp and effective. Her post-entry passes are perfectly placed with laser precision. However, don't let her focus on dropping dimes distract you from the fact that she can also take it herself and score big buckets whether from deep or inside 12 feet.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='601334' first='Alissa' last='Myers'] | [program_tooltip program_id='774068' first='NJ' last='Panthers']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Alissa has an emerging all-court game that seems to get stronger with every passing year. She's coming off a season of scholastic hoops with Franklin where she had increased production in every statistical category across the board. She plays the game with passion and a ton of intensity, never letting her foot off the gas and giving in to the opponent. She brings confident scoring, facilitating and strong defense to a Panthers squad that loves to run and wear opponents out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
