Robinson is a lengthy guard with disruptive instincts, she excels at jumping passing lanes for steals and plays aggressive, lockdown defense and proves she is capable of containing smaller guards on the perimeter. Offensively, she has deep range, even falling down while drilling a deep three even through heavy contact. In a tight game versus another undefeated team, Robinson came up with crucial and timely buckets to lead the comeback for her team. She is also a strong rebounding guard who makes an impact on both ends of the floor.     McCorry's court vision is next level and sets her apart as she is consistently anticipating plays before they unfold and delivering timely, accurate passes to teammates. A multisport athlete who also plays soccer, she brings a natural feel for spacing, timing, and movement that translates seamlessly to the basketball court, especially in transition and screen-and-roll situations. She takes pride in passing, but still has a scorer's mentality as she can score from all three levels and is consistent at the free throw line as well.     Hicks is a physically dominant player that immediately stands out with her strong, college-ready frame and relentless motor. Her strength is evident as she plays with a magnetic presence, constantly securing rebounds and creating second chance opportunities. Around the rim, she uses shot fakes and controlled footwork to clear space and finish through traffic. Not just powerful in the paint, she adds a perimeter threat with her 3 point shooting, particularly from the corners, where she confidently knocks down timely shots that spark momentum in close games. Her ability to stretch the floor while remaining a dominant interior presence makes her a tough matchup on both ends.     A composed and efficient point guard, Citty brings a steady presence to the floor with her poised decision-making under pressure. As a scorer, she's a reliable spot-up shooter and adds value in transition, where she can finish with either hand through contact. Without the ball in her hands, she still moves with purpose, finds the open space to hit a consistent midrange jumper. Control, scoring ability, and basketball IQ make her a key piece in any backcourt.     An explosive athlete with natural feel, she gets to the basket with ease using her quickness, body control, and sharp instincts to attack gaps in the defense. Her ability to see the windows and exploit them makes her a constant threat off the dribble. Her defenders must guard her honest and not play off to contain her dribble because she can nail the long ball. Taylor's athleticism combined with court vision and shooting range all make her a threat on the court.
