Without basketball this would be a great event to support, with basketball added it’s a great event that I look forward to every year. I was able to watch quite a few games over several gyms and was impressed by the amount of talent on hand. Here are some more of the top players that I viewed over the weekend.
Sydney showed well with her ability to hit shots from long range as well as the corner three. She finishes well after contact and makes her free throws. She had good height at around 5’9″ which allowed her to defend multiple positions.
Highlights
Emma played well across the board. She looked really confident stepping in to her shot from three and made plays from the point and wing. She finished plays attacking the basket seeking contact and getting to the line.
Highlights
Zhen was pretty automatic from 13 feet in. Her shot blocking ability is a weapon that alters the strategy of opponents. She cleans up her teammates mistakes with her anticipation on the offensive glass and she finishes at close to 100% rate.
Highlights
Kenney has good body control showing the ability to go from full speed to a slow pace for a soft finish. She plays well on the ball harassing ballhandlers into turnovers. Her shooting form on her shot is solid which should translate into her being a perimeter threat as well.
Highlights
Ava Ryan
Ava Ryan
Ava gets her hands on a lot of balls with her length which gets her a lot of deflections. She has good elevation after attacking allowing her to finish over defenders even after contact. She moves well without the ball running the floor and cutting to the basket. Her frame and athleticism seems suitable for multiple sports.
