She reminds me a lot of one of my former players who found success at NDSU. She is an absolute force around the basket on both sides of the floor. She can get to her spots whenever she wants. Basically the only way you are stopping her is if you foul her. She averaged over 5 free-throw attempts per game this past season. AnnaClaire is probably the best rebounder in the state. She averaged 13.1 rebounds per game with 6.1 of them coming on the offensive end. [program_tooltip program_id='712656' first='Mandan' last=''] is going to be extremely tough to beat these next few years. WDA teams are waiting for the day they won't have to play Bugbee anymore.     Laskowski is a special talent and I think NSIC schools should be taking a hard look at her. She would be really good on the perimeter at the 3 position. She is long enough and athletic enough to defend at the D2 level. She will need to become a true two-way player to play in the Northern Sun, something I think she will be able to figure out. Elli is a very talented offensive player. She had one of the highest points-per-game averages in the state at 24.5 points. She is exceptional at getting to the free-throw line. She has a little room to work on her outside shooting, however, she is still an excellent prospect.     Sierra really finished the year strong with a ton of solid performances. She was critical in helping Davies win the EDC Tournament Championship and get to the State Championship game. She is the Eagles best returning player and is going to have to take over as the number one offensive threat for her team. She is certainly capable of doing this. I would consider her an elite athlete with potential to play a high level of basketball with improved skills. She finished the season averaging 10.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1.9 steals per game while shooting 47% from the field, 39% from three, and 78% from the free-throw line.     Fautsch is a really talented post. What will be critical for Lacie is for her to find the right fit at the college level to utilize her 5'11 height in the post position. She has very good footwork and hands for a high school player. She can seal up the lane and catch a pass for an easy bucket. This is a lot harder to do than it might sound. It requires timing, physicality, vision, and touch around the basket. Lacie is really good at drawing fouls and knocking down free-throws. She is also very good defensively. She moves well laterally, can sprint back on defense, and is an outstanding rebounder. She is the real deal!     The Pinke family will have to adjust to watching Anika on the floor without sister Elizabeth for the first time in a long time next season.  Good basketball runs in the family.  Anika plays a different style than her sister, but is just as valuable on the floor.  She will need to take over more scoring responsibilities next season.  The Thunder are going to be really good with Anika leading the way.  She is a good athlete and can get to the middle of the paint basically any time she wants.  She loves to throw up a soft floater at the basket.  She is a good cutter, sneaking behind opponents for easy baskets.  She is also a very good defender.  She usually guards the opposing team's best player.  Look for the All-District talent to make the All-Region team next season.     Addisyn is someone I'd take on my team every day of the week. She does so many things that equate to winning games. She is a very good defender and does a great job of defending without fouling. She is strong enough to battle around the basket but quick enough to fly across the baseline in Benson County's 1-3-1 zone. She sprints hard in transition and is able to finish in traffic. Her effort is really impressive all around. She dives for loose balls and isn't afraid to get on the floor. She has a soft touch around the basket with her floaters. She is a very good and effective player.     Kambree was selected as an All-Region player in 25-26. She is obviously a talented player who helped the Titans win a ton of games. What I believe was the most important piece she brought to the court didn't have anything to necessarily do with the box score: her ball-handling. She was able to take care of the ball and make great decisions with it, which allowed All-State teammate [player_tooltip player_id='412033' first='Annabel' last='Scheeler'] to play off the ball and be a scoring machine. Kambree is also a great scorer herself, don't get me wrong. She has a sweet shot with good arc and a quick release. She has a really impressive first step that allows her to attack downhill. She finished the season averaging 10.8 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 2.4 steals per game. Fleck is certainly a college prospect and will likely see herself in another future stock rising article going forward.     Harris has all of the tools in her toolbox to be a really good high school player with some continued work on her efficiency from the field. She has good mechanics but just needs to work on consistency with her shooting. She plays the game the right way and takes what the defense gives her. She is a good ball-handler and often initiates [program_tooltip program_id='712656' first='Mandan' last='']'s half-court double-post offense. She is a good on-ball defender and quick player on the floor. She is scratching the surface of her potential and will be fun to watch the next two seasons.
