Rankings Update: 2027 Ball Handlers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>NCBCA hosted their Live Team Camp in Bermuda Run this weekend with teams across the state of North Carolina and even some from Virginia came to compete to see how the new high school rosters are meshing together.  I was able to catch day 2 of the event and saw some of these top 2027 ball handlers that you should know and become familiar with, especially after the latest rankings update on Prep Girls Hoops North Carolina.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

to show off her strong ball handling creating some space to get the pass to her teammates or for her to get the ball in the hoop herself.  She showed off her range shooting the ball, and her change of direction moves were sure to get her some space.  She plays well sitting down on defense making sure her opponent stays in front of her.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

well on the court making adjustments to get the ball to her teammates.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

create the open look.  She hustled back on defense getting her hands in the way preventing fast breaks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

the ball well against tough pressure making sure she avoids problem areas and still finds an open teammate to get an offensive play going.  She has some nice range with her shot knocking it down from deep off the pass or her dribble.  She's tough on the other end, too, being able to pick the pocket of her opponents.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!--

defender getting in the way of her opponents and exploding into the passing lanes.  She takes her steals all the way for solo fast breaks even battling contact when needed.  She is constantly talking on the court, too, directing her teammates on what to do, especially as she brings the ball up the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
