AAU Team Preview: Nebraska Supreme 17U

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>t's that time of the year again. It's AAU Season! This time of the year is always an interesting and excited one. It's the time where we see new faces in new places, new groups joining together, and a whole lot of action as it pertains to high-level basketball throughout the country.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this article we highlight a program&nbsp;that has recently came together the past couple of years out of Nebraska in The [program_tooltip program_id='715717' first='Nebraska' last='Supreme']. The Supreme are a tightly ran group, that play team basketball every time they take the floor. All of their rosters are built on fundamentals, positive vibes, and hard-work. When you go out to watch them compete, they embody what it means to be a program that is built the correct way from the ground up. This 17U group specifically has already put together an impressive AAU season up until this point. If they stay locked in and everyone continues to play to their full capabilities, they are going to continue to see more of this success for the rest of the Spring/Summer season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["316682"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='316682' first='Maya' last='Dolliver'] is a the do it all, it-factor type prospect for her [program_tooltip program_id='715717' first='Nebraska' last='Supreme'] 17U team. She is a quick thinking, fast moving guard, that can be moved around the floor while producing at a high rate from all different area's on the court. She is a steady producer with the basketball in her hands and she is an able passer off of the catch or dribble. Dolliver is one of those players that can produce with or without the ball, showing that she can be used in several different systems. So far this AAU season, she has shown out as one of the most complete players on this roster, week in and week out. Always giving it her all and leaving it all on the floor each and every game.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["336031"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='336031' first='Sara' last='Harley'] is the definition of a team basketball player. On both sides of the floor she gives her full effort on every possession and she doesn't take plays off. On this specific squad, she is one of the taller prospects so she is in charge of defending the bigger players on the opposing team more times than not and she usually does a great job of holding her own. She does a great job of anticipating plays before they happen and she usually gets her hands on a ton of tips/deflections leading to steals in the open court. Don't get me wrong, her offensive ability is impressive too as she can produce in crafty ways but she really stands out as an elite and stout defender, whenever she is lacing up her kicks.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["777585"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='777585' first='Jade' last='Lewis'] is someone that I had a chance to see compete last year prior to the high school season and since then, she has seemly gotten better over time. Lewis is someone that has a fundamental play-style with great balance and coordination. She can score in a number of different ways while attacking the hoop or she can facilitate to an open teammate when the defense over helps. She is someone that has some physicality to her at the guard position and she tends to play with a chip on her shoulder. When she is competing with other well rounded prospects, she thrives and this AAU season, that is what we have seen first hand at an elite and consistent rate.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["873175"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='873175' first='Addalyn' last='Rooney'] is a guard that demonstrates a fundamental dribble and a nasty cross over into a pull up jumper on the offensive end of the floor. If the defense happens to overplay her shot, she is good at getting down hill off of a hesitation, usually finishing at the basket through contact. All in all, she understands situational basketball to a T and as to when she should choose her spots while attacking her defender on that side of the basketball. Defensively, she is very good with her movement from side-to-side and she can recover quickly if she ever happens to be beaten off of the dribble. She knows where her opponent is going to put the ball while going up for a shot and she is great at getting her hands on blocks near the rim because of that.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["316455"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"After watching Wells compete a few times this season, I think that her best ability is her availability. She is someone that understands where the defense is going to be and she is very good at getting to spots that make herself open for a pass coming from a fellow teammate. Once she gets to those spots, she is efficient in finishing the play with either an easy bucket or giving out an extra pass for a more open look to someone else. Defensively she has some solid size and athleticism to contest bigger opponents or she can stick with smaller guards and stay in front of them. Wells really succeeds in most situations she is put in. She plays with a lot of heart and that shows out more than most out on the hardwood.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["316456"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"I have always been a big fan of [player_tooltip player_id='316456' first='Keeleigh' last='Knobbe'] and her play-style. Knobbe is a lengthy guard, that can score from all three levels, while also being an efficient and able passer. She has a great hesitation dribble when attacking her opponent and she is someone that is always looking to find an open teammate as she attacks the basket. If the defense lets her go 1v1, she usually finishes the play with a solid take as she has the ability to score from either side of the basket with either hand. I would consider Knobbe one of the most complete prospects on this roster at this point. She is always producing for whatever team she plays with even if she isn't scoring and that speaks volumes to the type of player she really is.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_6_player_details_player_name":"Kelsey Hatcher ","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_6_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_6_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_6_player_details_position":"12125","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_6_player_details_school":"Kearney ","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_6_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='715717' first='Nebraska' last='Supreme'] ","_player_evaluations_6_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_6_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_6_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"Kelsey Hatcher is an ultra athletic competitor, that is very good in the open court and when her teammates can create for her off of the dribble. She is extremely quick in her movements up and down the floor, all while being someone that most opponents can't stick with throughout the duration of a contest because of her endurance and athletic ability. From my understanding, Hatcher doesn't just stand out on the basketball court, she also stands out on the track field as well as a state recognized runner in several different events. This makes a lot of sense when you watch her on the hardwood. She is someone that never seems to get tired and honestly, she completes like the energizer bunny out there. She doesn't seem to break a sweat too often even though she is giving it her all and this helps her thrive in more ways than one out on the basketball court throughout a weekend.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_7_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='941117' first='Assata' last='Lytle'] ","_player_evaluations_7_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_7_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_7_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_7_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_7_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_7_player_details_position":"","_player_evaluations_7_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_7_player_details_school":"Omaha Central","_player_evaluations_7_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_7_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='715717' first='Nebraska' last='Supreme'] ","_player_evaluations_7_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_7_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_7_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='941117' first='Assata' last='Lytle'] is someone that has been fantastic this AAU season and this past year at the high school Varsity level with her Omaha Central squad. Lytle is physically gifted and very good at owning her matchups. She works off the ball a majority of the time but she still produces at an effective rate. If a defense doesn't tag her early on in a ball game, she can finish the first half with a double-double in point and rebounds because of her mixture of awareness and drive. She may not be the one to go out and score you 30 each game but she makes her presence felt on both sides of the floor almost every contest she competes in. If she continues to carry this momentum throughout the AAU season, she is going to be someone getting some interest from the collegiate levels before everything is said and done in her basketball career.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_8_player":["336039"],"_player_evaluations_8_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"Another athletic prospect that has shined in several different sports throughout her high school career is [player_tooltip player_id='336039' first='Armanii' last='Brazile'] of Millard North. Brazile is someone that is a team first type player. She is productive and consistent in her own right but she understands what her teammates do best and that is something that you can't always teach to players out on the floor. She is someone that was a producer on the high school Varsity floor this last Winter and she has taken that same production into this AAU season with her up until this point. She has demonstrated that she makes the most of her opportunities whenever they present themselves and she is a hell of a teammate. For any college coaches watching, if you are looking for someone that has a can-do-it attitude while being skilled in their own right, this could be the prospect for you at the end of the day.","_player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_9_player":["766579"],"_player_evaluations_9_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_9_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_9_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_9_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_9_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_9_evaluation":"On a team that isn't the tallest on the floor, one of their best rebounders and scoring threats near the basket comes to us in the form of [player_tooltip player_id='766579' first='Allie' last='Kaup']. Kaup has an act for being a relentless rebounder on both sides of the floor and she doesn't stop on a play until she hears a whistle. Sometimes there are players out there that understand where a miss shot is going to go and they are great at jumping to the basketball, this is one of those players in my book. Other than being a great rebounder, Kaup is an accurate free throw shooter and someone that isn't afraid of contact near the rim. She may be a guard but she plays with a lot of size and length, usually giving her an advantage against her personal matchup in one way or another each contest. She is coming off of a successful high school season and using that momentum this Spring/Summer, something that is obvious to anyone who has been watching so far.","_player_evaluations_9_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":10,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66424f6e66f83"} /-->
