<p class="text-gray-700">Juliet has strong anticipation defensively and does a good job jumping passing lanes to create steals. She also competes hard on the glass and is a good rebounder for a guard. Offensively, Juliet moves well without the ball to find open cutting lanes and has a smooth pull-up jumper in the mid-range.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Steph is extremely quick with the ball in her hands and uses that speed to create opportunities for both herself and her teammates. She does a good job getting to her preferred scoring spots and consistently makes smart decisions with the ball. Steph brings a polished all-around offensive game that allows her to impact possessions in several different ways.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Koharu is attending The Rivers School in Weston this year after reclassifying into the Class of 2028. She has a lightning-quick release from three-point range, forcing defenders to stay attached to her on the perimeter. Koharu is also capable of attacking closeouts and finishing effectively around the basket.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Ella is a strong finisher around the rim who converts at a high rate with either hand. She plays tough on-ball defense and makes it difficult for opponents to settle comfortably into their offense. Ella also has a nice Euro step that she uses effectively in the paint to work around defenders and create clean finishing angles.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Lovena has an effective hesitation move that allows her to change pace, get defenders off balance, and attack the basket. Defensively, she moves her feet well and does a good job cutting off driving angles to keep opponents away from the rim. Lovena can also knock down shots from three-point range and space the floor.</p>
