About Lauren
Expert Analysis
Evan Bell | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Lauren is an under-the-radar prospect at Wixom St. Catherine who has the skills needed to be a solid addition to a college program. She’s a confident shooter from beyond the arc and finishes well at the rim with either hand. Lauren put herself on my radar with a magnificent performance last fall, and she delivered another notable performance at the Big Cat Fall League for Wixom St. Catherine. Lauren buried an open wing three and threw a pass ahead on a rope to start the fast break after securing a defensive rebound. She crashed the glass to score a putback with her left and consistently finished with her left in traffic. Lauren slashed to the basket on a determined drive and scored with a soft left-handed finish off the glass. She drove by to score multiple off-hand layups throughout the day. Lauren ripped by a defender and attacked downhill to score with her strong hand at the rim.

Lauren rocked a headband on the court, which was a clear giveaway that she was going to be a serious hooper. She had a great day for Wixom St. Catherine at the Plymouth Summer League. Lauren used two straight inside-out dribbles to create a driving lane and accelerated downhill to score a left-handed layup. The inside-out dribble was her specialty, and she used it often to create space throughout the game. Lauren was confident handling the rock with both hands and blew by a defender again, using an inside-out move to score a left-handed layup. She catches to shoot–her feet and hands are ready to fire. Lauren swished multiple deep threes from the wing off the catch and dribbled into another triple.
