Fisher's Film Room: 2029/2030

We are in a slow time for live basketball, so what better to do than dive into some film and get to know some prospects better? I put a tweet out into the X universe asking for film and plan to write an eval on each player that responded and took their recruiting into their own hands. Let's take a look at some Freshman and 8th Graders with intriguing film:    Athiei is always an eye-catcher in the gym with a seriously elite frame with her height and length. She has better mobility than past 6'9" players I've seen in person, and she's a serious clog or deterrent in the paint on defense. Those that are willing to dare come into her house are usually sent packing with a massive block from this post presence. She's strong in the pick-and-roll game with a knack for pinning and sealing her defender off for easy buckets on the roll. Athiei also does a great job of keeping the ball high on rebounds and on her shot.     Brianna is one of the most fundamentally sound players in the 2029 class. She has really good form on her shot and regularly makes the right pass with her vision and decision making. In her film, she read the defense and made a solid one-handed swing pass as well as a really strong overhead skip pass that gave the defense no chance to recover or steal it. Bri does a great job of feeding her post player when they are rim running and also in half-court sets. Her ability to get downhill with her dribble and play basketball the right way makes her an intriguing Freshman guard in the Sunshine State.     The thing that impressed me the most with Cici's film was her passing ability. She's able to look off a defender with her eyes while making a move for a bucket or even passing in a different direction than her eyes. Her ability to penetrate with the dribble and find her open teammate by kicking it or dropping it down is high level for her age. Cici can hit a defender with a head fake and knock down the runner like it's second nature. She pushes the ball with pace in transition and can hit the 3 ball with a nice stepback move in her bag.     Callie has incredible body control for her age. Her size and strength also stand out in Florida's 2030 class. She's one of the top shooters in her class and regularly plays against older kids which is always hard in the moment, but should lead to a lot of positives in the long run. Her poise and pace also show off the maturity in her game. The film I watched showed off her strong handles, unselfish passing, and an effective head fake that can fool opponents.     The first thing that stands out to me on film is the proper rotation and form on her deep ball. She's smooth with the dribble and her change of pace leaves defenders in the dust. Angie excels at distributing the ball and making the right pass to her teammates. Her energy and effort will continue to help her succeed as she develops her game!
