War in the West: Best Shooters

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The War in the West was a competitive tournament that showcased a ton of talent. Many players stood out and had great weekends. In this article, I will be writing about the top shooters from the weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1263280' first='Raquel' last='Dunnam']</em></strong> - Greyhounds 16u 3SSB - Raquel had her shooting abilities on full display all weekend long. She knocked down multiple 3's with ease, shooting them with confidence and not needing much space to let it fly. Her quick release helps her get her shot off right when she sets her feet, either coming off screens or off the dribble.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1279170' first='Annika' last='Hastings']</strong></em> - [program_tooltip program_id='1314497' first='Team' last='Prodigy P32'] 16u - Annika caught fire one game, draining at least 6+ threes with ease. She comes off ball screens well, using the screen to get open space to get her jump shot off. She uses her high confidence to not let a miss hold her back from shooting the next open one, which is a great quality to have as a shooter on the court. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1052912' first='Anaya' last='Saldivar-Slater']</em></strong> - [program_tooltip program_id='1314497' first='Team' last='Prodigy P32'] 17u - Anaya has always been a top shooter in the 2028 class. She has long range, being able to knock them down a few feet beyond the arc. Her ability to knockdown transition threes stands out too, as she can quickly get her feet set to get her shot off. She was also one of the best defenders from the weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='928114' first='Isa' last='Garcia']</em></strong> - Greyhounds 17u 3SSB - Isa can really shoot the ball from a high percentage from deep. She can smoothly get open and can knock deep shots either off the dribble or the catch. She plays with a lot of energy and makes momentum shifting plays on both ends of the court. She knocked down a high percentage of her threes over the weekend. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>Seylah Bains</strong></em> - AthElite 15u 3SSB - Seylah is a class of 2032, playing 3 years up at the 15u level. She is a future star in the making, showcasing her ability to score from all three levels but truly knocked down the deep shot at a high percentage. She knows what shots to take and not to take, displaying a high IQ. It was fun to watch her play and her journey will be a fun one to follow along with. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
