The Match Up: Drive Nation vs LeGYnds 15U

Some of Oklahoma and Texas' top young talent was on display in an double overtime match up in Phoenix. With Drive Nation pulling out the hard fought victory, but both teams were filled with standout performances.    Braggs had an outstanding weekend in Phoenix, including clutch shooting in the battle against Drive Nation. She drained a DEEP three at the end of regulation to force overtime. Has clearly been putting in time on her handle and footwork. Routinely hitting threes and midrange jumpers off the dribble. Around the rim, she's able to use pump fakes, jab steps and pivots to juke out defenders. Still has some area of improvements with turnovers, including the occasional double dribble. Overall it was a stellar weekend for the Choctaw Yellowjacket. Who finished her high school season strongly and is now establishing herself as one of the best 2029 prospects in Oklahoma.     Complete scorer for Lady Drive Nation. Was bombing threes from deep, and posting up mismatches around the rim. Shoots it clean and quickly as a spot up threat. Can also attack close outs with her handles and plays at her own pace. Using balance and strength on those drives. Rock solid all around offensive weapon, who simply knows how to get it done as a scorer.     The lefty 8th grader is a problem off the bounce. Makes opponents respect her from deep with threes, then sets them up to go by them with her quickness and outstanding handles. Already has quite the impressive bag of moves to win in transition and in iso situations on offense. Had her floater working in this game, and other games this past weekend. Which is key for her to score in the 6-8 foot range over the arm's of out stretched defenders. It was a first look at one of the expected top Class of 2030 prospects in Oklahoma, and there's a lot to like about her potential as a pure scorer.     In this contest, the quick freshman guard was quieter as a scorer. But still came alive with clutch scores around the rim at the end of regulation and overtime. Importantly, she doesn't let scoring impact her ability to change games. Helped be the straw to stir the drink for the offense early in the contest. Pushed the tempo to create transition looks, got into the paint for drives and kicks, leading to assists and hockey assists. Similar aggressive mindset on defense, has quick hands to go along with her quick feet. Making her a menace when playing on the ball defense, and hustling back in transition to save points.     The 2030 can provide instant offense as an off the baller scorer. Good shooter from deep, then uses head fakes and other moves to attack off the bounce. Is fearless on those drives, capable of getting into the teeth of the defense and finishing against bigger foes. Her game grew throughout the weekend, and her scoring production in this game was the catalyst for her to finish her time in weekend strongly. Has the look of a player who will be able to hit the ground running in high school this winter. Capable of scoring spurts that can swing games.     Athletic forward/wing prospect, who made her mark on the defensive end with blocks, steals and deflections. Has a huge wingspan and the athletic traits to play along the wing. While also having the grit and toughness to battle in the interior. Moves her feet well on drives, then swats shots at the rim. Enjoyed watching the energy level she played with on the defensive end.
