<p>So many times, I see players that understand something very important and that's how and when to put their teams on their backs, or those who just understand when they need to do something to change the momentum. Yeah, I'm almost at the end of closing out Super 64 and will dive into NJI next but I'm getting ready for Prime Time #NBC yet I'll end the tournament with STOCK RISERS coming up next </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='204186' first='Avari' last='Berry']-5'6 PG (Austin Elite RFW) 2023</strong></p>

<p>Berry has been RFW, ready for whatever, all season, and her poise under pressure has spoken volumes but I can go on and on her about her game-winning shots or wanting the ball down the stretch yet I always say you take your game to another level when you make those around you better</p>

<p><strong>Kyla McBride- 6'1 PF (Pro Skills 17U National) 2023</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>McBride is "long and athletic" and I use that in profiles over and over because that's the base. More importantly, college coaches use that same profile so what are her intangibles. Her dripping the midrange, which is a lost art, at her size is a huge plus, so is her timing to block, alter, and (or) deflect shots is equally impressive</p>

<p><strong>Tea Rodriguez-5'6 PG (Austin Elite RFW) 2023</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Rodriguez filled in many gaps for the team, you need a big three, she delivered, you need a big steal, she delivered or you needed some energy to come in and create havoc on defense, she delivered but more importantly was the fact that she played within herself and understood how to get hers in the flow</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='95225' first='TiAna' last='Davis']-5'7 SG ( Pro Skills 17U National) 2023</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Davis has LAUNCH in caps which means she could drop it from deep, yeah I could have put her on the SHOOTERS list because of her range especially her quick release, S/O to "catch and shoot" definitely could get her teammates going but she also showed her athleticism on defense as well as her explosive first step </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Jaida Gomez-5'6 SG (Austin Elite RFW) 2023</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Gomez also could have been placed on the SHOOTERS list, yeah that three-ball has been dropping since before her first middle school game yet her INTENSITY on both ends of the floor, yeah that includes manning-up as well as diving on the floor for loose balls got her teammates going, so did her willingness to take the charge</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='809942' first='Jazman' last='Bailey']-5'8 PG ( Pro Skills 15U OG) 2027</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<p>Bailey had #D1Lock dropped on her when she was with another team, I was overly impressed with her playing up, and showing whatever pressure was thrown at her was irrelevant, that was two seasons ago, look it up. Fast forward to now, she's definitely going to be in the National mix, she's long and athletic and can just score in droves, whether it's off the dribble, her body control including after contact is ahead of her years, and that pull-up jumper, in the set or in transition is hard to handle now. Factor in " she plays the passing lane" so stay tuned and remember "I told you so" </p>
