Scout the Stream: GRIND Prep vs Compass

GRIND Prep's national schedule is fully underway and one of their recent match ups from the Grind session was the target of weekly "film" review.    One of the most electric players in Oklahoma had her full offensive arsenal going. Made stepback jumpers from beyond the arc look crisp and smooth. Was a key part of GRIND's breakneck pace and pushing it in transition. Had a couple wilder passes later in the contest, but overall was on point and accurate as a distributor. Speed kills, especially when paired with the handles and scoring chops that Constant has.     The first note made on Minor when watching the contest was "Made it look easy". From grabbing boards and going coast to coast, finishing with either hand, and of course draining threes. There was one pump fake, one dribble relocate that was so smooth and quick that dare I say looked like a move from a future pro? Simply put, Minor scored in every way imaginable. She's unbelievably skilled for her height, with all the signs of a future star. Really she's a star now, and Minor will has the opportunity for her star to shine the brightest even among recent standouts.     The future Lady Mustang was an one woman press break. Constantly pushing the tempo, weaving through defenders, firing accurate passes. Richardson is a special creator and tempo setter, with seemingly no wasted motions as the speedy guard is always in attack mode. Routinely set up teammates with high percentage looks. Was lethal out of ball screens, either passing or getting floaters or pull ups to fall. The special talent is closing out her high school career strong before a career in the ACC with SMU.     Djikanovic single handedly kept Compass Prep within shouting distance during the start of the game. She's a complete offensive weapon, smooth movements off the ball, popping open to drain catch and shoot jumpers. Can finish with either hand on drives, even ID mismatches and go to work on the block. Very smooth scorer, but can hit a second gear when needed on drives. Finishes through contact for old fashion three point plays as well.     Jefferson has one of the most complete scoring games in Oklahoma. Gets downhill and lofts floaters over out stretched arms. Or stop on a dime, and drains the mid-range pull up. Showed off her deep range from that extends to a few feet. Even got her own miss on a three pointer that she realized was short. Scoring simply seems to be part of Jefferson's DNA.     The defensive anchor in the middle for GRIND. Long arms allows her to alter and swat plenty of shots. While also corralling rebounds. Even got on the floor to win 50/50 balls. Along with the defensive determination, they did come out of the halftime break with a plan to feed Van. And she was good on the block, with good footwork and good touch with a pair of scores that really helped GRIND extend their lead on their way to a blowout win.
