She attacks the rim with confidence, using her size to create space and get shots off over defenders, and demonstrates strong ball-handling skills, particularly in transition. On defense, her wingspan and quick hands make her a disruptive presence she consistently challenges shots, pressures the ball, and generates turnovers. Makayla's high motor, skill set, and basketball IQ position her to be a major contributor on both ends of the floor for the Fishers Tigers as she enters her senior season. A versatile two-way player capable of impacting the game inside and out, Makayla projects as a key leader and difference-maker for her team.     Jordin Sauls, though listed as an Illinois forward, made a strong impression during the Indiana showcase, demonstrating a versatile and well-rounded game. In the 5-on-5 session, she consistently showcased her ability to score in multiple ways—whether posting up inside, finishing around the rim, or stepping out for mid-range opportunities.

Her combination of strength, skill, and basketball IQ makes her a versatile player capable of impacting the game in a variety of ways, and she should continue to be a go-to option for her team.     [player_tooltip player_id='1315715' first='Aleah' last='Singleton'], an unrated forward from Franklin Community, made a noticeable impact at the wing position during the showcase.

Offensively, Avery demonstrates a strong sense of timing and court awareness. She makes smart reads, positioning herself to either pull up for a shot or drive to the rim effectively. A detail that stands out in her game is her technique when receiving the ball—she consistently shows her hands before catching, whether she's preparing to shoot or pass.

As she enters her junior season at Hamilton Southeastern, Avery projects to be a valuable contributor off the bench for the Royals. With the graduation of a talented class, her ability to shoot, handle the ball, and make quick decisions in transition or half-court settings will be important for the team's success. With continued development, she has the potential to expand her role and become a consistent scoring threat.
