She averaged 13.6 points, 5 rebounds, and had shooting splits of 51/41/76. Taylor has great size, length. She is very versatile and fundamentally sound. She also gets after it on defense and poses a inside-out scoring threat on offense. I see a breakout junior season in the works for her.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">I watched [player_tooltip player_id='1052043' first='Kimberly' last='Johnson'] in-person for the first time at the Billy Hicks Classic last year and she really stood out to me. She is a force in the interior on both ends of the floor. She scores at high rate in the paint, rebounds the ball extremely well, and protects the rim. Kimberly averaged 8.4 PPG along with 6.6 RPG as a sophomore, so she is sure to increase those numbers in her junior season.</p>

Myla is a multi-level scorer who can shoot it from three at a good clip and attack off the bounce. She has a knack for getting the free throw line and shows potential as a defender. Good things are to come for her this season.</p>
