Check out some team evaluations from the Prep Girls Hoops Expo this past weekend. Over 80 girls got together to compete at the Hidden Valley Fieldhouse, and we are going through each squad to give you the goods on each player at the event. Take a look at some notes on the players on Team 5.   [player_tooltip player_id='1278844' first='Kira' last='Nelsen'] | SF | Woodinville | 2028   Overall, just a really hard worker. Showed some good speed in the open court and was busting it up and down the floor. Made hard cuts and did well to recognize where to cut and when. Also was active defensively, getting hands up, working on the glass, and showing good short bursts to cover rotations and close out on shooters.   [player_tooltip player_id='1309320' first='Peyton' last='Riley'] | SG | Eastlake | 2028   Versatile player who was able to fill different roles based on the changing lineups. Competed defensively, showed good feet to defend the perimeter and stick with ballhandlers. Also played a big role knocking down outside shots and moving without the ball to get herself into good spots and be ready for kickouts off drives.   [player_tooltip player_id='584112' first='Semaj' last='Williams'] | PG | Emerald Ridge | 2026   Really impressive guard from the event who did a ton of playmaking, showed off a pretty consistent outside shot, and made life tough for opposing guards. Played with some pace and creativity, and injected a lot of life into her team's offense, helping get the ball to her teammates in good spots. Played fast but controlled and made some great decisions in transition.   [player_tooltip player_id='676259' first='Julia' last='Benthin'] | CG | Lake Washington | 2027   A really impressive and toolsy offensive player who seemed to get whatever she wanted at times. Has great speed with the ball and can stop on a dime to change direction or pull up for jumpers. Faced off against a team that had two 6-foot-4 posts and still continued getting to the rim and finishing around some legit length.   [player_tooltip player_id='981960' first='Immy' last='Wettlaufer'] | PF | Bellevue | 2028   Continued to show that same versatility we've seen throughout the spring and summer. Has real size at 6-foot-2, and used that height to block some shots inside and defend the rim. Also has a smooth stroke that we got to see in effect at the foul line and from behind the 3-point line, especially in transition.   [player_tooltip player_id='979373' first='Rosalie' last='Gasaway'] | SF | Lake Stevens | 2028   She's a long forward who showcased some promising athleticism and fluidity for her size. Really excelled on the glass, using that length to high point rebounds, stretch out over defenders, and rip down boards with strength, and then showed she can go to work off those offensive rebounds with quick post moves. Also showed some fluid finishing moves and the ability to get creative around the rim.   [player_tooltip player_id='1233815' first='Saige' last='White'] | PG | Mazama (OR) | 2028   Made some really high IQ plays on the go and right off the catch. Showed the intention to get in the paint with consistency, whether that was off the bounce or making cuts off the ball. Had some quick reactions on both ends to make some slick passes and step up to meet the ball as a ready defender.
