PGH Midwest Extravaganza: Byron’s Sunday Morning Standouts

<!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">This weekend was the second-to-last AAU event before the high school live period starts next month. I covered this tournament's 17U teams at the Plainfield location. Below are some standout players from the morning games.</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1213951' first='Jane' last='Belmont'] </strong>- <em>A lanky wing who has the potential to be a standout player in her class. She also shows ball-handling ability and some solid IQ—an under-the-radar player to watch</em>. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1213891' first='Maggie' last='Robinson'] </strong>- <em>Maggie plays the guard position at her own pace. She never seems rushed and isn't bothered when pressured with the ball in her hand. She had a couple of possessions where she showed solid footwork on the block. </em></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='899508' first='Chloe' last='Santos']</strong> - <em>Santos has definitely added some more to her skillset since the last time that I've seen her. She seems more comfortable around the rim and has this drop step right-handed baby hook that always works for her. She's even shown that she can also knock down the short corner and midrange shots. </em></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='874651' first='Darryelle' last='Smith'] </strong>- <em>Smith's talent to me doesn't have a limit, and I still think she's playing off pure athleticism and feel for the game, which is crazy to think, cause she's sometimes the best player on the floor. </em></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Ashlee Brown</strong> - A headache to deal with if you're the primary guard. Brown is one of those defenders who will irritate you from the start of the game to the end. She moves her feet well and probably forces a minimum of 2-3 turnovers per game. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='955657' first='Marlee-Michelle' last='Coleman']</strong> - <em>She's already notched as one of the best players in the state regardless of her class. She has the simple but effective skill set, and she gets it from below the nail. One of those players who will see the offers roll in by the bunch. High potential. </em></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
