Madison is super athletic and she used it well to elevate over defenders for short pull-up jumpers in the lane. She has picture perfect footwork on the block and displayed incredible strength when scoring through contact inside. I was also impressed with her handles and ability to put the ball on the floor and beat defenders off the dribble.

A double-double machine for the Lady Dragons, Madison is able to do damage on the block or in the face up game where she is comfortable taking defenders off the dribble. Young is one of the more high potential prospects in the class and combines with Ellis Morrison to make one of the highest scoring duos in the state.
