2026-27 Preview: GSL 2A

As the League MVP, [player_tooltip player_id='928125' first='Ashlan' last='Bryant'] proved herself as one of the most complete players in the game.   A strong, physical guard, Bryant does a little bit of everything—and does it at a high level. She rebounds, facilitates, scores, and defends, making her a true do-it-all presence on the floor. Offensively, she's a three-level scorer with a smooth, reliable shot and the ability to attack the basket with confidence.   What separates Bryant is her high basketball IQ. She reads the game exceptionally well, adjusting on the fly and finding ways to exploit defensive weaknesses. Whether it's making the right pass, choosing the right moment to score, or locking in defensively, she consistently makes winning plays.   On defense, she's just as impactful—active, intelligent, and engaged, making life difficult for opposing guards.     A Second Team All-League selection, [player_tooltip player_id='1835835' first='Joslyn' last='McCormack-Marks'] brings a level of versatility and adaptability that every coach values.   She's a guard who can stretch the floor with her shooting, knock down the three, and also attack the rim when the opportunity presents itself. But her game goes beyond scoring—she thrives as a connective player, keeping the offense flowing and making the right decisions.   What stands out most is her ability to adapt to the game script. When her team needs scoring, she steps up and becomes aggressive. When others are rolling, she seamlessly shifts into a complementary role, supporting the offense without forcing the action.   Her intelligence and feel for the game make her a steady and reliable presence every time she steps on the court.     A lightning-quick guard, Brown thrives when she's attacking downhill. She puts constant pressure on defenses by getting into the paint, where her craftiness around the rim allows her to finish in a variety of ways. In transition, she's especially dangerous, turning defense into instant offense.   But her energy doesn't stop there. Defensively, Brown brings relentless intensity. She hounds opposing ball handlers, applying pressure possession after possession. Even when it doesn't result in a turnover, her presence disrupts rhythm and forces mistakes.   She plays with a motor that never seems to slow down—a true spark on both ends of the floor.     Laney Augir took a significant step forward this season, embracing a larger role and continuing her steady development into a versatile, high-impact wing.   She's capable of scoring inside and out, with the ability to shoot, drive, and finish effectively around the rim. Her offensive versatility makes her difficult to defend, as she can attack mismatches in multiple ways.   Where Augir truly stands out is on the glass. She's a high-level rebounder, using her length and athleticism to consistently make plays and extend possessions. Her activity level is impressive—she's constantly involved, finding ways to impact the game beyond just scoring.   With her continued growth and expanding role, she's poised to become an even bigger factor moving forward.
