While in developed sets, she lets the play evolve and makes the right reads. Defenders can't just sag off for her because she'll pick them apart. Casey has seemed to master her pullup shot.

At first glance, many would just see a jump-shooter, but as the game progresses, she quickly makes it known that she's so much more. Her brawny frame allows her to bulldoze through contact and no matter where she's at, Cohen is looking for her shot. She's insistent on getting to her spots, no matter what.

Payton will fill the need of whatever her team needs. She's long and aggressive while being able to make the right reads.

As she matches up with other team's better players, Scurry is intent on making their day difficult. There're no easy baskets around her. Even if Payton seems beat, her recovery to get back in the play is remarkable. As she continues to add to her overall offensive game, she may very well be a top 5 contender in short time. She's rapidly ascending and has all the potential to become a genuine star.     [player_tooltip player_id='599981' first='Ruby' last='Thompson'] (2027) | 5'9 SG | Austin Prep   The #3 shooting guard and #10 overall player in the class, Thompson is a first-class talent.

As she gets the ball out her hands quickly, the offense seems to follow suit. Ruby is an excellent team defender that's usually in primary position to make a play. On a regular basis she outworks her opponents by beating them to the jump of the ball, hustling for 50/50 balls, getting around screens and blowing up plays before they even get started. Another minor aspect to her game is the minimizing of face-cuts; she checks cutters as they attempt to get across. Overall, Thompson is a commendable lead guard that's everything to rave about.
