PGH Live- 17U: Players Catching My Attention! Part 2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#11 Hanna Drifka, Great Northern Elite 2024: </strong>I really like her defense! She looks longer than 5'9! Read passes well, resulting in steals, and turns into buckets! Can shoot the rock from outside. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#14 Danica Shamion, Great Northern Elite 2024: </strong>Shamion for Threeeee!! This young lady knows how to shoot! Quick trigger, feet are set, and she lets it go! Defensively solid, no problem picking pockets!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#4 Tamia Taylor, Pride Basketball 21 2024 Black:</strong> I really like Taylor's speed- her light feet gives such an advantage on both ends of the court. Takes care of the rock, likes transition situations. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#32 Hannah Holmes, Always 100 United 2024: </strong>I really like her game! At 5'10, she has the length to not only be dangerous and put up points, but she definitely knows how to grab rebounds! Strong player! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#11 [player_tooltip player_id='339197' first='Olivia' last='Wren'], Minnesota Diamond Elite 2024 BSSL:</strong> Where do I begin? She has so many moves to choose from! She slithers between multiple players, making difficult shots in the paint look easy, buries outside shots, active hands on defense, and is all over the court. Baller!!

She's like a magnet when it comes to steals! Anticipates passes, positions herself very well- and her D creates fast break opportunities. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#6 [player_tooltip player_id='520264' first='Cady' last='Davis'], Minnesota Diamond Elite 2024 BSSL:</strong> Davis does everything! You need points- no problem. Boards, yep, she'll fight for rebounds! Her court vision and getting the ball to open teammates- fantastic!

She makes the game flow because of her presence! She finds the open teammates- resulting in buckets! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#12 Katelyn Odem, Chapman Basketball Academy 2024 Gold Elite:</strong> Odem's shooting form is so pretty-nothing but nylon! No problem going to the basket with pressure defense- she finds ways to score and capitalize. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#30 Amelia Levine, Michigan Lady Playmakers 2024:</strong> Levine has such a strong frame- and when she takes off with the rock, she powers her way inside to score. Uses the glass well, and I really like her footwork. Strong inside/ outside game! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#16 [player_tooltip player_id='336011' first='Christen' last='Banks'], Michigan Lady Playmakers 2024:</strong> She is exciting to watch! Speed, energy, and a battery that just keeps going! Athletic, fights for boards, and can put up points.

Made me smile watching her grab rebounds with authority- that's all heart! And just as effective in scoring buckets! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
