June Ballers: Exciting Players To Catch on the Court in June

The summer AAU takes a little break in the month of June, giving players who chose out of state clubs a chance to come back home and play with local teams or to link up with their high school teams to show out together for a few tournaments. These are some exciting players to catch in June.    Watson took her talent to Las Vegas this AAU season, playing with the Las Vegas Elite/Team Hamby 16U for the majority of the summer. It is nice to see Hannah playing back in the state for June with the Wreaking Havoc. Watson scored MVP recognition this past weekend at the GTE Mountain West Summer Preview event, and it is easy to see why. She is a multi-level scorer. She has the ability to score in the paint with her back to the basket or short 10ft jumpers. Hannah can also play from the wing, getting points from strong drives to the basket or jumpers. She brings a great energy to the defensive end. She can get in a stance and defend smaller guards the full length of the court, meet post players at the block to battle for position and everything in between. Make sure that you get to the court to see Watson and Wreaking Havoc play before she goes back to Vegas.     This guard for RADP Prep is another one to keep your eye on during the month of June. This guard can get it done on both ends of the floor. On defense she is quick and aggressive. She can pressure dribblers from end to end, getting steals and traps for her team. Martinez can defend in the half court to get stops on shooters and even drop down into the paint to help. Justiss lets that defensive energy carry to the offensive end where she continues to do good things for the squad. From strong handles in the full court, to getting to the bucket all over the half court for points, Martinez can get it done. She can also hit jumpers, from the 2pt and 3pt range, making her a true threat. RADO Prep and Martinez should be on your list for June viewing.     The [program_tooltip program_id='994631' first='Southwest' last='Sting'] went through a bit of a shift in the earlier part of the summer season, but that didn't stop Nyree from taking care of business on the court. This PF is strong in all the right ways. As powerful player, she also has the smooth handles to help break full court pressure and keep the ball flowing on the offensive end.
