Smoothly gets it done is one way to describe her game yet when you add how consistent she is on both ends of the floor, I just smile. She goes hard and falls into that “never takes a play off’ category and her “in your face” defense was clicking but so was her creating her shot and dropping it from mid to long-range. Yeah, she scores off the dribble and has good court vision
I don’t know how many games she played over the weekend as she put in work both her team as well as helping out on the 2025 squad yet her progression on the court has me smiling because she’s becoming a dominant player on both ends of the floor. Yeah, she rebounds and defends inside the paint but her shot blocking has, well SHOT up plus she’s not only finishing after contact, she scoring off the dribble and dropping the short jumper
Smooth as silk with the ball and her poise under pressure coupled with making good decisions helped set the stage. Court vision across the board is solid, she also is showing how effective her FLOATA has become yet her finishing strongly as well as hitting jumpers were nice
Amazing UPSIDE for this “big guard” that can shoot yet she finishes off the dribble after getting hit “Oops Upside The Head”, GOOGLE it, continues to get better. She creates her shot while being defended and drops the mid to long-range with a hand in her face
Upside is getting scarier for a number of reasons starting with she’s “long and athletic” which is the base and continuing to keep the “alley oops” going yet her turnaround jumper is one of the best I’ve seen in the past few years. She scores around the basket, off the dribble, and drops the short jumper but her court vision from the high post is a huge YESSSSSSS

She’s using her frame on both ends better, partly because of her becoming more fluid but her strength is key and will be a huge factor in how much she progresses on the court. She’s finishing stronger after contact, but watching her go AFTA the ball off the rim, on both ends was nice

Her on-the-ball defense continues to impress me as she defends in the set as well as baseline to baseline strongly. She not only rebounds but handles the ball in the open court and has shown she can go coast to coast to score or dish but she also plays the passing lane and gets the same results. The midrange is looking good, plus she can overpower smaller guards off the dribble

Athletic guard who uses her athleticism on both ends yet watching her apply “on the ball” pressure off the top helped get the ball rolling, no pun intended. She has quick hands, which got her some steals yet she also got steals doing what I love to see and that’s playing the passing lane. The pull-up jumper is nice, she also scores off the dribble plus she’s a “long and athletic” guard

Dropped countless threes the first time I saw her, well I stopped counting after 5 yet seeing her on the court progression over the years to show that she’s more than a long-ball shooter has been nice. Her “on the ball” defense has picked up, and she’s playing the passing lane yet her pull-up midrange as well as “catch and shoot” are both nice additions to her offense
Cynthia Walker

Also a “long and athletic” guard who showed a variety of intangibles like her first step, which helped her attack the basket off the dribble and finish after contact. Her curt vision was solid and she also does a good job of creating her shot and knocking it down while being defended. As an added touch, she gave me the “catch and shoot” from deep

Her midrange looked good in every game I caught her in during the event yet her ability to get hers “in the flow” stood out as she simply seemed to be at the right place at the right time to make plays. She saw the floor and made good decisions plus she scored from multiple angles off the dribble
