<p>[player_tooltip player_id='874837' first='Kayden' last='Kirn'] (Illinois Lady Titans 15U): A 5'6" point guard from Cape Girardeau who was playing two years up with the 15Us and more than holding her own. She's an impact player with her quickness and playmaking ability. She was dropping some nifty dimes while being able to score at all three levels. She had one sequence where she threaded the needle for a nice assist before knocking down two consecutive 3-pointers with a nice easy stroke.</p>

<p>Zoey Page (MO Phenom KC-LP: A 5'6" point guard who has good strength and impressive quickness. She can get into the lane and score at a variety of angles and she can also ring the bell from 3-point range. She zips the ball well on her passes. She is also a tenacious defender who was picking pockets in the open court and going the other way for layups.</p>

She runs the pick and roll well and she can hit pull up jumpers from the mid range. She can also knock down 3-pointers from well beyond the 3-point line.</p>

<p>Avery Walker (MO Phenom-Morton): A 5'8" point guard who has good size and athleticism for the position along with a high basketball IQ. She can play at any pace and she can spread the ball around with her good court vision. She is a good rebounder who will get out and lead the break and finish in the lane. She is strong on the drive and she can hit the pull up jumper.</p>

She does a good job of advancing the ball upcourt on the pass and she can also penetrate and dish the ball to the open teammate.
