Powell is an athletic guard who uses her athleticism on both ends of the court. She does good job defending “on the ball” in fact she enjoys applying pressure yet her first step is nice as she blows by defenders off the dribble to score or dish. She also has solid court vision in the set and can drop the jumper
Williams is “long and athletic” which will always be the base. I say that a lot because many times people don’t comprehend some of what I write yet she used her length and timing to not only rebound but block shots. She played solid defense, scored off the dribble yet her long-ball shooting, especially the “catch and shoot” was really nice
Highlights
Brannon smoothly showed she could score off the dribble, first step and body control played a part in that, yet her finishes, at times acrobatic were nice. She also saw the floor and made good decisions, plus her “on the ball” pressure and quick hands helped to create turnovers
Highlights
Schaff does a good job of creating her shot under pressure as well as dropping it with a hand in her face. Her stop and pop in transition was nice, she also used a deceptive first step to attack the basket off the dribble, Her defense was sold, so was her timing as she altered or blocked shots
Goodson is a heady guard that patiently sets the defender up to attack the basket. She finished after contact, she also dished off the dribble yet in the open court, she hit teammates on the money. Speaking of money, she not created her shot under pressure, she created spacing and dropped the jumper with a hand in her face
Highlights
Stillwell-Smith is “long and athletic” and that’s still the base yet her intangibles starting with her reading the floor and playing the passing lane grabbed me. She handled the ball after the steal to score or hit open teammates. She also scored off the dribble in the set but her defense, on the ball, was nice and so was her timing to alter, as well as block shots
Jackson falls into that #sizedontmatter group I love to hashtag because she can play. Pound for pound, inch for inch, she’s one of the toughest guards in Texas as her on the ball defense always stands out yet so does her going after loose balls, either in the air or on the floor. Her court vision is solid, she can score off the dribble as well as drop the jumper
Highlights
Smith showed she could shoot the ball off the top and her mid to long range was on display in both of the games that I caught her yet her “catch and shoot” while being defended just grabbed me. She shoots the ball with confidence, she also scores and dishes off the dribble yet her court vision was solid in the as well
