With fewer players on the floor, every possession matters. Who can create, compete, and lead? Below are a few standouts.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">What caught my eyes with Whitley was how she positions and repositions effectively, showing strong awareness of spacing. Moves well without the ball to create scoring lanes and open looks for teammates. Demonstrates a clear understanding of how to keep the offense flowing in half-court sets.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Active and lengthy, Long uses her frame to consistently find cracks in the defense and get to the basket. Displays impressive IQ in the pick-and-roll, especially from the corner, reading the defense and making the right play. Her combination of activity and awareness makes her a constant threat on both ends of the floor.</p>

This was my first look at Davis (in-person) and she <strong><em>is</em></strong> as real as the buzz around her! She is the definition of shifty with a quick first step and crafty handle that gets her to the cup. Confident from beyond the arc, willing to let it fly from three and knock down shots. Combines slashing ability with perimeter range to keep defenders guessing.</p>
