More 15U players that impressed at the Champions Challenge

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Two articles were not enough to cover all of the talented 15U players that I watched this past weekend at The Champion Center. Today is the second in a series of posts covering who also stood out to me over the weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1782705' first='Emery' last='Meyer']</strong>-[program_tooltip program_id='713038' first='Wisconsin' last='Blaze'] Black (Winneconne)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>5-10 Meyer, out of Winneconne, caught my eye for many of the intangibles that she brings to the game. Not only does she rebound at a high level, but she moves well without the basketball finding open lanes for layup opportunities. On defense she slides her feet well and is not afraid to dive on the floor for loose balls.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='877604' first='Sophia' last='Milosh']</strong>-[program_tooltip program_id='712778' first='Purple' last='Aces'] (Waterford)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Milosh impressed me as one of the more physical "bigs" at the Champions Challenge. She was a handful to keep off of the glass accounting for double-digit rebounds including several offensive rebound putbacks. There was no moving her once she established deep post position showing a nice touch, around the hoop, including an assortment of baby hook shots and she opened up the [program_tooltip program_id='712778' first='Purple' last='Aces']'s offense with her thunderous screens.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='900149' first='Ava' last='Rentsch']</strong>-Make it Rain (Hortonville)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After watching Ava play, Sunday afternoon, and reading her stat line, you would not think that she was the shortest player on the court. Playing much taller than her listed height (4-10), Rentsch was all over the place in her game against 24UP Krueger. Defensively she had at least three steals to go along with showing fantastic court vision, leading to several assists, but what was most impressive was her rebounding. I had her for five boards, two offensive, and one putback against much taller competition. I love how hard she plays and I'm intrigued on seeing what she develops into in the next three years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1224295' first='Brynlee' last='Krueger']</strong>-[program_tooltip program_id='1605164' first='4C' last='Sports Academy'] (Middleton)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Long, athletically-built lead guard with a strong all-around game. Krueger (5-7) is a confident "Floor General" type that offensively also seemed to make the correct read, with the ball in her hands, showing nice court vision, setting up teammates for easy layups and finishing in a variety of ways at the hoop. She caused havoc, on the defensive end, with a number of steals and blocks and was one of the better rebounders, in the game I watched, finishing with 7 or 8.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1231046' first='Addison' last='Stiles']</strong>-[program_tooltip program_id='1230720' first='Team' last='Herro'] Green (De Pere)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I had the opportunity to watch two of Stiles's games and was impressed by what I saw. The 5-6 De Pere product uses her powerful frame to set the tone physically and was one of the better finishers absorbing a ton of contact without it phasing her. She was a beast, specifically on the offensive glass, where she had several putbacks many drawing fouls in the process. Sunday she showed more of an outside game knocking down a couple of 3-pointers and moved well laterally on defense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
