TWINNING at Space City Slam

When I first started doing this almost 20 years ago, I was both creative and innovative. Still, then I stopped because others were copying me and acting as if they thought of it, sort of like Major Moves and Woods Recruiting do now, yet one more time, "imitation is not always the sincerest form of flattery." Still, my limitations in trying to educate have just taken a toll, so I'll just keep doing me. I had a chance to catch 4 sets of twins at the event, so here ya go    Ratcliff was exciting and entertaining, so watching her make "major moves" since the last time I saw her spells trouble for defenders. Her growth, both on and off the court, got me going, so did her spin move and diving on the floor for loose balls, yet her "on the ball" pressure was smothering at times, her first step left older players cemented to the court, and she dropped the jumper, "catch and shoot" looked good as well     Ratcliff has also elevated her game as well as her height, but she came out dropping the jumper with a hand in her face; her "catch and shoot" also looked good, and her game mirrors her sisters in so many ways. Both are "long and athletic" guards with a very nice first step. Her "on the ball" pressure created havoc, but she also hit the boards and went C2C to score a few times, that's "coast to coast" plus her body control after contact was nice       Boglin shows so much power inside the paint, on both ends, and seeing her BATTLE for rebounds as well as loose balls was nice. Her pull-up jumper has improved, so has her finishing after contact, but her timing to block shots and handling the ball afterwards was a huge plus. She also defended outside the paint, even picked some pockets     Boglin's game also mirrors her twins, yet her"hands and footwork" as well as "drop step" JUST DID IT for me. Yes, she rebounded on both ends by going AFTA everything off the rim, but her midrange has gotten better, so has her "turnaround jumper" but here's another thing, both twins play taller than their listed height, which is #THROWBACK     Andrews and her twin had me rolling off the court, as their mannerisms and facial expressions were synchronized when I was speaking with them. Jyhvae brought so much heat defensively that she forced countless turnovers, but she also stole the ball and showed she could score off the dribble     Andrews also showed she brought heat on both ends, so using her athleticism was a big plus. Yes, she attacked from multiple angles to score, nice body control on her finishes, but her "on the ball" tenacity, playing the passing lane, and "never taking a play off" looked good     Freeman and her sister are like an Energizer Bunny and keep coming at you, but her "stop and pop" jumper, court vision, and playing the passing lane looked good. She scored off the dribble, she applied baseline-to-baseline pressure, and she used her quick hands to pick pockets     Freeman and her sister also fall into that #sizediontmatter group, but that "on the ball" pressure had me sweating at times, along with diving for loose balls, taking away the dribble, and beating the offensive player to the spot, yet she saw the floor and scored off the dribble
