Madeline Tellez
Tellez did a good job on both ends of the floor, she plays within herself and she understands how to not only get hers in the flow but help the team by doing some things that may not pop up on a score or stat sheet bur she has good size and length, takes defenders off the dribble and showed she could handle the ball under pressure
Natia Hagan
Hagan was under control and handled the ball under pressure as she showed she could attack the basket and finish after contact but she also showed she could attack it multiple ways. Her hesitation, “HEZ” was one of the best at the camp, she even faked me out once but throw in the fact that she sees the floor and defends baseline to baseline
Madeline Mueller 5’4
Mueller just showed me so many different sides that I was thinking about a buffet of offensive tools because she not only handled the ball well in traffic, she did it in the open court and hit her teammates on the money but throw in she attacks the rim and finishes not to leave eat, she has range, deep range
Kylie Sisk-5’9
Sisk caught my eye easily with the white headband so I knew something was coming and she didn’t waste any time showing me that she was athletic, that stood out initially on the defense as she applied full-court pressure with ease but on the flip, she used it to set the defender up and her pull-up was smooth and accurate
Brooke Srncik-5’8
Smick has so many acronyms by her number like C2C which means coast to coast and she did that numerous times but what about C/S, well that’s catch and shoot with accuracy, and D, well that’s defense so I don’t have one for range or handles but I do have this one, P/U because her pull-up was clicking
Mia Salinas-5’6
Salinas was solid even before the games began and her grit as well as battling for everything sort of set the tone on what was coming. She did a nice job defending as well as creating her short under pressure but her pull-up jumper was consistent as she knew how and when to attack the basket
Angela Lopez-5’4
Lopez was one of many “size don’t matter” guards that could play at the event and she showed me quite a few skills that were useful for her to make some noise, first, she handles the ball under pressure and sees the floor, secondly, she creates her shot the same way, under pressure and her pull-up from mid to long-range was a nice finisher
