She plays both ends of the floor, and her impact is felt throughout the game.

She has a crafty scoring ability around the rim, making her difficult to defend in the paint.

The strength of her game is her three-point spot, and she does a good job playing to her strength. She is a vital piece to her team, and her scoring is needed for success.

She knows how to get to her spots and create offense and really is a prospect who can play either guard spot at a high level. One thing you can always walk away from a game knowing about Elise is that she contributes night in and night out in a variety of ways.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1233440' first='Braylee' last='Winfrey']</strong> (5'10/SG/'26/Auburn)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: brayleewinfrey</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Ranking: #35</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">One thing that always comes to mind when it comes to Braylee is her ability to score the rock. She's got a remarkable ability to get her own shot and can hit the pull-up three and the midi off the dribble. She is crafty off the bounce without her crafty ball-handling taking away from getting downhill. She has the ability to score when given the slightest of space and has a knack for scoring, unlike many in this class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='373899' first='Brooke' last='Adams']</strong> (5'7/CG/'26/Minor)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Ranking: #37</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Brooke is a solid piece to her team and does a good job at providing steady and consistent production. She is a two-way impacting player who forces opponents to compete on both ends. Offensively, she is a lefty who can knock down the trey ball, but her instinctive play on defense stands out the most in her game. She is a confident backcourt talent who is wired to compete at a high level.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
