Olivia is a force to be reckoned with. She checks so many boxes and greatly contributes to winning basketball. Playing both sides of the ball is a staple in her game, plus she's dynamic doing so. Olivia provides great length, athleticism, finishing, physicality and there's well adapted perimeter skills that'll make her a gamechanger for Brooks this year.     [player_tooltip player_id='973929' first='Lily' last='Downing'] (2028) | 5'3 PG | Worcester Academy   Downing is starting to get that respect she's due for her advanced skillset. After a major summer session, Lily has made a name for herself as one of the best at her position. She's a true point that can also come through in many ways for her team. Downing controls the pace, limits turnovers, has lethal range, amazing vision and abrupt quickness that works on both ends. Worcester has a gem in Downing.     [player_tooltip player_id='1224065' first='Camilla' last='Jordan'] (2028) | 5'10 SF | Kingswood Oxford   Camilla is a stifling defensive presence that's also steadily improving her offensive game. As a defender, her pure ability to affect most actions on the floor will mark her as a player with significant value. Jordan is a real on-ball stopper that can incite pure chaos and disruption to offensive players. This shutdown defense she provides can lead to easy baskets for her in transition. This high-octane player is one to watch this season.     [player_tooltip player_id='1056178' first='McKenna' last='O'Neill'] (2028) | 5'8 CG | GCDS   A hardworking guard that can play many roles. O'Neill is a potent 2-way player. Her defensive abilities are what truly shine and make her a real treasure. The on-ball pressure O'Neill provides is stately. Not only that, but she's tremendous playing the passing lanes, so players mustn't get sloppy with the ball around her. The '28 guard suffocates players, causing them to be flustered many times throughout the game. Her aggressiveness shows itself on offense as too; McKenna has some powerful drives to the basket and she's also active on the boards.     [player_tooltip player_id='975835' first='Nora' last='Conte'] (2028) | 5'7 CG | MSC   Nora won a championship with the V2 squad and her steady development will have her in a prime position to add value on varsity this upcoming season.
