<p>The Expo was in the books, and we saw a talented crop of players who headed into Appleton through the fog to play basketball on Sunday. Over the next week or so, we will look at the high school players and highlight what they brought to the floor during the 5v5 portion of the event. We had over 80 players at the Expo, and we will highlight what each did to stand out in their minutes. Let's talk about Team Five.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Nelson is a small-school guard from Northwestern Wisconsin. She has the skill to excel against anyone. She isn't the most explosive athlete you'll find, but she has one of the best IQs in the 2029 class around the state. She plays with a change of pace and gets to her spots off the dribble. She can manipulate defenses with the ball in her hands. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The Muskego native is a rangy athlete who could fit Muskego's defense. Massey is a versatile defender, and her length could be valuable in the zone defense the Warriors have played over the past few seasons. I also liked the value she brought as an off-ball threat who can space the floor and knock down shots if defenses help off her.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The Algoma native is a physical forward who must work hard to make plays around the basket. Loucks isn't the tallest forward on the floor, but she plays with a chip on her shoulder. She has the physicality and toughness to hold her own around the basket and defend larger post players.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">I thought Krueger was among the most impressive players at the event last weekend. She was confident and attacked her spots with a purpose. She scored from all three levels and wasn't fazed by her defender. She knows where she wants to go and where she feels she's most effective, and gets to those spots whenever she wants. Last season, you could tell she was thinking about what she was going to do; in Appleton, she just played, reacted, and looked excellent.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The Martin Luther guard played her role on both ends of the floor and didn't try to do too much. I thought she worked hard off the ball and kept her defender occupied because of her movement. She can play either backcourt role and complement the talent around her. She has the tools to make an impact in numerous ways on the floor.</p>
