Expert Analysis

Ballard is a patient and unselfish guard who has been on our radar for a while now. She sees the floor well and has significantly grown her basketball IQ throughout her high school career. Her height and length makes her a threat defensively giving her the ability to guard multiple positions. On the offensive end she is able to shoot over smaller guards and take players to the rim. Ballard is fun to watch and I am excited to see which school she decides to bring her talent to.

The 5-9 combo guard brought her length and athleticism on both ends of the floor, whether it was blocking shots on one end or finishing around the rim on the other. Ballard also expanded her range knocking down a pair of 3-pointers for ECU Family 17U. Ballard can also play multiple positions on both ends of the floor but is traditionally used as either the combo guard or wing position.

Game 2 / Court 2

Danika Ballard Danika Ballard 5'10" | SG Boone | 2024 State FL (Boone HS) – 5’9 Combo Guard – Class of 2024

Ballard flew under the radar for me silently impacting the game on both ends for team # 7. The 5’9 combo guard shared ball handling responsibilities with Nina Green Nina Green 5'6" | PG Wharton | 2024 State FL proving to be equally effective with the ball in her hands and off the ball. She has a quick first step, good handle, and can knock down the open shot both off the dribble and catch and shoot situations. In a showcase situation where most of the focus was on offense, Ballard showed a willingness to guard the ball which stood out amongst 60+ individuals.
