<p>Fall showcases and preseason events have given players opportunities to put their skills on display ahead of the high school basketball season. While scoring is always a factor, there's more to the game than putting points on the board. From creating opportunities for teammates and pushing the pace in transition to making defensive plays and showing versatility on both ends of the floor, these five players demonstrated their ability to impact the game in multiple ways.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Ingram can score from different spots on the floor, knocking down threes from the corner and top of the key and also attacking downhill for a jumper and using her strength to back down defenders and finish at the rim. She handles the ball well on the perimeter, using her crossover to penetrate get by defenders and draw the defense in before finding open teammates with kick-out and skip passes. She also makes plays in transition, whether she's grabbing a defensive rebound and advancing a long pass up the floor for an easy layup or picking up a steal and taking it all the way to the basket.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Brown is a confident shooter who can knock down spot-up threes and pull up off the dribble, but she also has the strength to attack the basket and finish around defenders. She's patient with the ball, taking time to read the defense and find gaps to attack, while also recognizing when to dish it to a teammate inside for an easy two. She guards the ball well with the ability to disrupt opponents defensively, and she's always looking to make herself available to score, whether it's around the basket or stepping into a jumper.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">McEldon plays with a lot of strength and physicality, attacking the basket through contact, getting to the free throw line, and battling against multiple defenders to secure rebounds and finish for an and-one. She has good footwork and knows how to create space, using her pivot foot to get away from three defenders and pull up for a jumper, and showing she can knock down the three. She's vocal on the court, helps organize her teammates offensively, and makes plays defensively with her hands and shot-blocking, putting together an impressive 21-point performance against Oak Hill.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Wolfe is at her best in transition, running the floor well, staying wide to create space, and putting herself in the right position to receive the ball and finish at the rim. She makes some tough finishes look easy, even with defenders on her hip or contesting her at the basket, and she has the ball-handling skills to cross over defenders and create opportunities for herself and her teammates. She also has good court vision, finding teammates inside with nice passes, moving well without the ball to cut along the baseline for a score, and showing she can step out and knock down the three.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Norman has a nice handle and isn't afraid to make a move, using a sharp crossover to get by defenders and showing her ability to create space with a step-back before knocking down a corner three. She pushes the ball up the floor with speed and makes good decisions in transition, whether she's taking it to the basket herself, advancing a long pass to a teammate, or drawing defenders in before dishing it inside for an easy finish. She also guards the ball well with active hands and feet, picking off passes and turning defensive plays into fast-break opportunities, as well as showing her athleticism with strong takes along the baseline.</p>
