Versatile Point Forwards at the Run 4 Roses

Prep Girls Hoops Missouri takes a look at a group of taller players who are very good at facilitating offense with their ball handling and passing skills. Teams are very comfortable running their offense through them.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/07/Maryann-Kenyon-crop-3840x2522-1752797310.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-1274478"/></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='941760' first='MaryAnn' last='Kenyon'] (Phee Elite 16U/Olufson): A 6'1" forward from Marquette who is one of the top prospects in the Class of 2027. When she has the ball in her hands, everything seems to settle down. She is a tremendous passer as she knows when her teammates are open before they know they are. She passes them open. She is able to maneuver in the lane to get her own shot or create a passing angle. She can also rebound and defend with her length and wingspan. She picked up her latest Division I offer from Illinois State after the event.     *******   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/07/IMG_4324.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1268047"/></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='892865' first='Ryann' last='Arnold'] (KC Storm Elite 17U): A 5'11" 2027 forward from Lee's Summit who is very comfortable and very effective on the perimeter. She has excellent skill level and a high basketball IQ to make it all work. What makes her impressive is that you cannot speed her up. She goes at her own pace and she gets to her spots. She can get into the lane for the floater or she can drop a defender off for the step back 3-pointer. She also facilitates offense to keep her teammates involved with her passing.     ******   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/07/IMG_4113.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1267906"/></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='982952' first='Gentry' last='Davault'] (MO Tribe 17U): A 6'1" 2026 forward from Norwood who was one of the best passing frontcourt players that I watched during my entire three days in Louisville. They ran their offense through her most of the time. She handles the ball well and her head was constantly on a swivel as she was looking for open cutters. Very impressive. Lady Jokic-like. She was also a very effective scorer around the basket. She had a nice jump hook over the left shoulder. She could also drive it and hit the mid-range jumper off the catch.     *******   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/07/IMG_4490.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1268064"/></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='631765' first='Ava' last='Pratt'] ([program_tooltip program_id='712484' first='Della' last='Lamb'] 16U): A 6'0" forward from St. Michael the Archangel who is one of the top prospects in the Class of 2027. She is an excellent offensive threat from all three levels, but she is also an excellent facilitator. She handles the ball like a point guard who can can see over defenses with her height to deliver the pass. She is also hard to keep out of the lane when she attacks off the dribble, whether she's going left or right.     ******   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/07/IMG_4321.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1274489"/></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='892948' first='Hayden' last='Robinson'](KC Storm Elite): A 5'11" 2027 forward from Lee's Summit West who is an excellent ball handler with good physical strength. She uses her height to see over the defense, where she delivered some nifty passes. She was at her best when she used her size to back down smaller defenders into the lane and shoot over them. She does a good job of keeping her body between herself and the basketball while advancing up the court.     ******   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/07/IMG_4101.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1273896"/></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='849004' first='Jayce' last='Green'] ([program_tooltip program_id='713121' first='Lady' last='Brad Beal Elite'] 16U): This 5'10 forward from University City was included with the talented lefties, but she is also a versatile ball handler and playmaker with a high basketball IQ, which is why I included her in this section as well. She has a calmness to her when she has the ball in her hands. She gets to where she needs to go and is not in a hurry to get there. She has a nice runner in the lane and she can hit open 3-pointers.     ******   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/07/IMG_4421.jpeg?w=751" alt="" class="wp-image-1274490"/></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='777617' first='Hadley' last='Gravatt'] ([program_tooltip program_id='712484' first='Della' last='Lamb'] 16U): I've been watching this versatile 6'0" 2027 forward from Liberty since eighth grade and she has always been an impressive perimeter player. She is an excellent secondary ball-handler who can pass it and make good decisions. She also stretches the floor with her 3-point shooting ability.
