<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the PrepHoops Washington Freshman Showcase taking place last weekend in Auburn, we saw a lot of new faces showcase a little of what they can do on the court. Here we are starting with Team 4.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#5 - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1309326' first='Avaieya' last='Sinclair']</strong> - Decatur HS - Sinclair is a quick guard who makes fast decisions on the offensive end. She knows her next move before she gets the ball and can break down defenders quickly with her handles. She runs the court in transition smoothly and has a high ceiling for her future. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#12 - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1308477' first='Zoaye' last='Reed']</strong> - Sumner HS - Reed utilizes her dribbles very well and what I mean by that is she is taking purposeful dribbles with the ball in her hands. She has a great shot from deep, being able to let it fly from deep and stay as a focal point on the defense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#15 - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1273412' first='Charlotte' last='Gai']</strong> - Liberty HS - Charlotte has solid length and size on the court, being able to play multiple positions on the court. Gai is quick and agile like a guard but has the strength and size to match up against taller players. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#17 -<strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1140829' first='Mackenzie' last='Koh']</strong> - Skyline HS - Mackenzie is a player who has a well rounded offensive game. She can handle the ball well and find open teammates or play off ball and be just as effective on the court. She knocks down mid-range shots with ease and her range extends beyond the three point line. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#40 - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1308566' first='Emily' last='O'Cain']</strong> - Peninsula HS - Emily stays on her feet at all times, being ready to react to what the offense or defense gibes her. She has great change of direction, stopping on. dime with no problem and being able to handle the ball effectively. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#43 - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1303661' first='Kieana' last='Keel']</strong> - Spanaway Lake HS - Kieana stays alert on the defensive side of the ball, getting involved in the passing lanes and causing turnovers often. Keel attacks the ball from the wing smoothly, using her strength in the paint and soft touch around the rim. She can step out and knock down deep shots too. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#46 - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='800041' first='Aaliyah' last='Hall']</strong> - C/O 2030 - Hall was one of the younger players at the camp but performed at a high level. She is a dynamic guard who knows what her strengths are on the court and knows how to attack the defensive weak spots. She displays a high IQ with the ball in her hands, effectively being able to find open teammates or get the finish at the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#70 - <strong>Faye Sampson</strong> - Rainier Beach HS - Faye is a force in the paint. She is strong when boxing out and going for boards, often winning the fight for the ball. She seals opponents well on the offensive side, having some nice post moves to get easy buckets. She was one of the best rebounders on the day and is poised for a great HS career. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
