Heading into her sophomore season at Sioux Falls Jefferson she already has vital experience from both her AAU experience with All Iowa Attack and her varsity level playing time at Jefferson. She is a complete guard that has one of the most explosive games in the state of South Dakota. An elite scorer she can knock down threes, create shots in the mid-range, and use her quickness to get to the rim and finish. Defensively she gets after it with great intensity and a really high basketball IQ. With offers from D1 schools like South Dakota State University, University of South Dakota, Creighton, and Drake the sky is the limit for what this guard can achieve the rest of her career.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["731193"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6682eaa75bf8f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lauryn may have one of the highest ceilings in this class with a 6'1" frame, a really high basketball IQ, and loads of basketball skill! On the offensive end she is a force in the paint. She has an elite ability to catch in the paint, elevate, and finish. Her vertical and height make her almost impossible to stop once she gets it deep in the paint. A true rim running post she can score in transition and it a very athletic post player. In the half court she operates well in the ball screen game as she can roll hard and finish or pop off the screen and knock down the three. On the defensive end this young lady is a game changer as well with excellent shot-blocking and rebounding instincts and a really high motor! All of this talent has her holding offers from South Dakota State University and the University of South Dakota already.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["802006"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6682eaa75bfd1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ruby is another really talented prospect who rounds out our top three with D1 offers already in hand (South Dakota State and South Dakota). She is teaming up this summer with Lauryn (above) at [program_tooltip program_id='747557' first='Team' last='Warwick']. This group is one of the most talented AAU squads in the Midwest right now at the 15U level. She's a deadly scorer who can knock down threes with ease and has a really nice mid-range game to go with it. She has excellent handles and a rare ability to create her own shot off the dribble. A tall ask for defenders to stop she has great explosiveness to go with a plethora of dribble moves to blow by and get to the basket. A scoring point guard she understands the value of shot selection and makes the right play time and time again. On defense she has active hands and converts a lot of turnovers to points with a speedy transition game.
