Team G: Elite 16u Prospects at Guard

The guard play for [program_tooltip program_id='716027' first='Team' last='G'] is deep and prolific. Every single player on this list brings unique value to the roster. Expect them to be heavy favorites in several tournaments throughout the spring and summer. Excited to see the growth and camaraderie of this talented group of scorers, playmakers, defenders, and leaders.    Jenna has a deadly hesi that keeps the defense off-balance with the ball in her hands. So many clever scoops and runners around the basket. She can also knock-it-down from deep and creates space with her signature step-back. Jenna applies solid on-ball pressure. Sneaky shot blocker due to her long arms and elite instincts. Jenna seems to always be a step ahead of her opponent from a mental standpoint. Her defensive stance is a key indicator that she has been coached very well. Despite her indiviual capability, Jenna is a team player who understands how to keep everyone involved. One of the top underrated prospects in the state regardless of class.     Pure shooter who can play with and without the ball. Avery is a legit 3-level scorer with the ball handling of a point guard. Elite isolation scorer. Avery is always under control, even under pressure. Bigger players aren't quick enough to stay in front. Smaller players don't have the length, allowing her to get her shot off with ease. Avery is a lefty who can stroke it with RANGE. She played heavy minutes at forward throughout the high school season, but has the skillset to exclusively be a perimeter player. The length and scoring ability is very intriguing.     Hailing from Chandler, Arizona, Izzy has very few weaknesses in her game. Capable scorer with the ball in her hands. Reliable floater in the lane. Good spot-up shooter. Izzy can pick a defense apart. She routinely makes the right play. Good sense for when to score and when to facilitate. She can run an offense or play on the wing. Tough competitor on the defensive end. You know what you're getting from Izzy on a consistent basis.     Leah can stroke it with the best of them. She moves very well without the ball. Leah can also put her head down and finish over bigger defenders. Despite her youth, she has already faced plenty of stout competition. Leah was a standout on the [program_tooltip program_id='715880' first='Why' last='Not Premier'] EYBL team last summer. If you followed Sage Hill throughout the high school season, Leah did not shy away from guarding some of the top players in the country in the highly competitive SoCal Open Division. She has a chip on her shoulder and will become a household name in the 2028 class.     Victoria can play inside and out. Her versatility will do wonders for this [program_tooltip program_id='716027' first='Team' last='G'] squad. She rebounds, runs the floor, shoots the 3-ball, protects the rim, can go coast-to-coast... you name it. She consistently draws fouls in 1v1 situations. Her size, physicality, and perimeter skillset make her a mismatch nightmare. Expect Victoria to move up the ranks expeditiously.       The high school All-CIF selection will carry that momentum forward to grassroots season after a very impressive freshman year. Sofia has a basketball IQ well beyond her years. She knows how to initiate contact with her body and get to the line. Sofia plays at her own pace and is hard to keep out of the paint. Difficult to gameplan against because she has such a nice feel for the game. Sofia and Avery's playing history bodes well for the overall chemistry of this team.
