Hazelwood West Jamboree 2028 Standouts

Prep Girls Missouri spent its Friday night at Hazelwood West to take in the action at its jamboree. The three participating teams were Jackson, STEAM Academy at McCluer South-Berkeley and host Hazelwood West. The jamboree featured many talented players from the Class of 2028. The Hazelwood West vs. Jackson game was a showcase of those excellent newbies. Here is a look at those talented freshman who we saw at Hazelwood West.    The 5'10" 2025 shooting guard is one of the more creative scoring guards in the freshman class. She knows how to get buckets in a variety of ways. She is a three-level scorer with the handles necessary to create her own shot off the dribble. She has very good positional size which enables her to also get into the lane and score and multiple angles with nice body control.     A 5'8" 2028 point guard who plays with excellent tempo while also having a very good feel for the game. She is a pinpoint passer who was dropping nice dimes in transition and also in the halfcourt offense with backdoor passes to cutting teammates. The young lefty is very good at slashing into the seams of the defense to get layups and floaters. She also displayed an improved shooting stroke from the perimeter as she knocked down a few 3-pointers.     A 6'3" 2028 center who was a problem in the low post with her size and excellent footwork. She was sealing defenders to get prime position in the post and she did a very good job catching the ball. She had multiple moves inside and she was scoring with either hand with equal effectiveness. She also had a strong defensive presence inside with her positioning and ability to block shots.     A 5'6" 2028 point guard who showed that she can play the playmaker role and be a scoring threat with equal effectiveness. She is a three-level scorer who plays with a little swag in her game with her handles and confidence. She was creating her own shot off the dribble as she showed a nice float game in the lane. She was also playing off the ball where she moved well to get herself open to knock down 3-pointers.     A 6'1" 2028 forward who will be a two-sport standout in high school. She just finished an excellent debut season in volleyball where she earned All-Conference honors. On the basketball court, she is an athletic post player who runs the court with ease. She got multiple layups on some good rim runs where you saw her athleticism. She is also good at catching the ball inside and finishing with either hand.     A 5'4" 2028 point guard who plays the position in an old-school manner with a pass-first mentality. She has excellent quickness and she makes good decisions with the ball. She used her speed to penetrate into the lane and she made good reads to find open teammates for drop offs or she would score on the layup in open. She was also very disruptive on defense with her quickness on the run and jump and full court press.
