<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='968130' first='Kimora' last='Banks-Thomas'] was lights out from all over the floor, showing off her range and confidence as a knockdown shooter. She hit timely shots when her team needed it most, helping to keep the offense flowing. On top of that, she rebounded well for a guard, creating second-chance opportunities that helped swing momentum.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Meg Moore was a matchup nightmare with her all-around offensive game. She attacked the rim using her length and touch, finishing over either shoulder and keeping defenders off balance. Add in her three-point shooting and ability to defend multiple positions, and you've got a complete player.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Niylah Christopher is a big guard who gets downhill in a hurry and thrives through contact. Her physical drives led to plenty of trips to the free throw line, where she capitalized. She also showed a high IQ by recognizing double teams early and making smart reads out of them.<br><br></p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Trinity Holloway was a problem on the defensive end of the floor causing havoc in the backcourt and getting into passing lanes for turnovers. She anchored her team's defense and made things tough for opposing guards. Offensively, she attacked gaps and got to the rim with purpose.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Arianna Brewer's versatility was on full display impacting the game in a variety of ways. She handled point guard duties with poise but also used her length to play effectively on the wing. Her quick hands generated deflections and steals that turned into easy buckets in transition.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Addison McLaughlin is a crafty lefty guard who can get downhill and finish at the rim. Her ability to knockdown the three with her quick release shooter makes her a tough cover. She also brought strong on-ball defense pressuring full court and making her presence felt on both ends.</p>
