Apache Memorial: Pesky Defenders

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Insider Exposure hosted their live event called Apache Memorial Showcase this weekend in Raleigh, NC.  Twenty courts were going at the same time with tough competition and college coaches in the seats to watch it all.  I was able to catch the first couple of days of the event, so let's take a look at some of the pesky defenders that stood out to me.</p> <!--

again a nuisance on defense being effective on the full court press making sure her opponents didn't have an easy path to setting up offensive plays.  She showed off her range shooting the ball working to get open and being ready to make it off the pass.  She hustled up the court being ready to make an offensive rebound on a fast break after she made the pass if needed.</p> <!--

her tough play running all over the court getting to the ball deflecting passes and grabbing steals.  She moves well on offense, too, knowing how to find the gaps to get a play going.  She always seems to be thinking ahead of her opponents knowing where to find the openings on offense or how to get the possession back on defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

attacking the basket on offense not backing down from contact, and she was quick getting back on defense stopping fast breaks.  She was all over the court on defense battling on the block stealing the ball from post players, and she jumped in front of passing lanes on the perimeter.  She was certainly showing a lot of versatility on the court being effective on offense in most positions and the same for defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

did well setting herself up around the perimeter finding the opening to take the shot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
