A kid who can score from all over the floor. Off the bounce, catch-and-shoot, she’s always in position to put the ball in the hole. She not only held her own at the Expo but also showcased her range and her quickness with the ball in her hands. She also got after it defensively. Look for her to be a solid piece to this up-and-coming Siegel Stars team. She will get a lot of minutes early and often.

Avery had one of the better days of any of the very skilled 2030s that were in attendance at the PGH Tennessee Expo. Her youth did not affect her aggressiveness on the offensive end playing against much older players. Shooters shoot and Smith had her feet ready, shoulders squared to the basket, and was able to quickly get off and knock down shots from the perimeter consistently on Sunday. Avery is not just a shooter however, as showed finishing from the midrange and painted areas during full court play as well. She also snuck out on the break at least one time for an uncontested layup in stride. I look forward to watching her play again. She should have a very good high school career and be a kid college coaches are after in the next few years.
