Following a 4A title victory, Crittendon has solidified herself as one of the nation’s most productive names. A multi-positional defender who duals as an efficient scorer around the paint, picking her spots carefully within the halfcourt. Doing well to assert post position, she is an efficient finisher even through contact. Quickly improving her perimeter shooting, particularly off the dribble, Crittendon has received acclaim and looks to continue her eye-opening performances all summer.
One of the premier backcourt prospects in the state, Shumpert is a productive two-way creator, providing value throughout club games this month. A lockdown defender at the point of attack, she is strong, capable walling off opponents and being physical with downhill scorers. She can attack downhill for finishes in the paint past contact or step into a jumper through a contest.
Highlights
Hollier has shown progression as a playmaker with the ball, consistently stepping into mid-range jumpers with greater volume should the lane be taken away. Bringing in a high motor on the glass, she is an often contributor of second chance opportunities in the paint.
A twitchy ball handler who is a constant threat with the pull-up jumper, bringing in a fairly quick release. She brings vision out of the pick and roll, capable of reacting quickly to different defensive schemes off the ball screen.
An impressive rim protector and multi-positional defender, Brown adds to this group’s limitless frontcourt options. Her wide reach paired with quick lateral mobility makes the forward a suffocating defender at the point of attack, holding her own against talented wings and guards.
Highlights
Bahnsen-Price provides value as an active slasher and dependable perimeter shooter off the catch. Her height advantage allows her to finish past contests and defend both backcourt positions. She will be an impactful complementary shotmaker for this group, making her decisions within a couple dribbles.
Highlights
A quick ball handler, Boylan is a skilled lead guard who brings notable quickness. She can break down opponents off the bounce, effectively making the extra read while on the attack. Already holding her own while defending older guards, she brings quick reactions to wall off her opponent.
A willing three point shooter, Gibbs adds to this group’s floor spacing. Proactive making reads following a kickout, she holds gravity out on the perimeter reeling out opposing defenders for closeouts to attack the lane. A gritty defender, she plays as physical as possible at the point of attack, making the most of her positional size.
Highlights
Duncan provides disciplined interior defense, effective walling off the paint versus post threats. She has shown flashes as a spot-up shooter behind the arc, bringing a high release point on the shot. Capable bringing up the ball following a defensive rebound, Duncan keeps her head up for the next passing opportunities.
