Film Room Sesh: May Live Period

While I was out and about this weekend, head on a swivel, there were plenty of tremendous talents who I wasn't able to get direct eyes on. Through the power of video and analyzing film, I was able to get some solid evaluations on these five players who deserve recognition for their strong efforts.    An energetic guard who consistently applied pressure offensively with her ability to get downhill quickly and attack gaps in the defense; finished effectively on both sides of the basket. Sharp vision; kept her head on a swivel while handling the ball and made smart reads in transition and half-court situations. Defensively, she was active on the ball, disrupting passing lanes, picking off passes & immediately turning defense into offense with her ability to sprint out in transition; motor, pace & two-way commitment.     A true multi-level scorer with the ability to impact the game from all areas of the floor. She attacked off the dribble with strength and confidence, consistently getting into the paint and creating scoring opportunities. Beyond her ability to penetrate, she was also a dangerous perimeter threat who knock down 3's at a high clip. In the half-court, she displayed an effective high-low game and showed strong awareness by keeping her head up and finding teammates in scoring positions. Her combination of scoring versatility, playmaking vision & offensive poise made her a difficult matchup.     A versatile scoring forward who consistently created offensive opportunities within the flow of the game. She proved to be a very reliable 3-point threat, spacing the floor well and knocking down perimeter shots with confidence. Her off-ball movement stood out, curling and cutting to get open and put pressure on the defense. She made a strong effort to pursue rebounds on both ends of the floor; played bigger than her 5'9" size.     A true defensive anchor who was a major force in the post for United. Her presence around the rim stood out, using excellent verticality to contest and block shots without committing unnecessary fouls; controlled the paint defensively and consistently altered opponents' looks at the basket. Great effort and physicality on the glass to pull down rebounds and create extra possessions for her team. Offensively, she capitalized on interior opportunities to score at the rim.     A tough, resilient guard who battled through heavy physicality and still found ways to make an impact on both ends of the floor. She did a nice job of absorbing contact on drives and attacking aggressively enough to earn trips to the free throw line. Her toughness and composure allowed her to stay effective even against pressure and physical defenders.
