<p class="text-gray-700">Claire is a confident three-point shooter who is never afraid to let it fly when given space. She attacks the basket hard and does a good job playing off two feet in the paint, allowing her to stay balanced and finish through contact. Claire is also a shifty ball handler who makes it difficult for defenders to stay in front of her. Around the basket, she has a nice spin move that helps her create space to finish.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Marli is a strong ball handler who becomes difficult to stop once she picks up a head of steam attacking the basket. She does a good job getting into the mid-range and pulling up for jump shots when defenders back off. Marli can also stretch the floor from three-point range and has the ability to knock down shots from well beyond the arc.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Makenzie is an athletic guard who plays with a lot of speed. She is extremely quick with the ball in her hands and does a good job getting into the paint, where she has a nice floater. Makenzie also has good hands defensively, creating steals that quickly turn into transition opportunities. From the perimeter, she is a capable three-point shooter who cannot be left open.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Skylar is a crafty finisher with good footwork around the basket. She uses floaters and inside-hand finishes to score over much taller defenders. Skylar is also a good playmaker who gets into the paint and finds open teammates when the defense collapses. Defensively, her quick feet and active hands make her a tough on-ball defender who brings constant pressure and intensity.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Mackenzie is a strong finisher who does a good job playing off two feet around the rim. She makes good passes to set up teammates for easy baskets and can also stretch the floor from three-point range. Her release is extremely quick, with the ball leaving her fingertips almost immediately after the catch.</p>
