Adrian was a UP prospect I had circled heading into CMU Team Camp, and she consistently delivered standout performances all day for Munising. She communicated on defense, calling out switches, forced missed shots with her length, moved her feet to stop drives, protected the basket as a shot blocker, and made the hustle plays. Adrian showed off her athleticism and strength, hanging in mid-air and finishing a contested layup at the rim with a defender’s hand on the ball. She has strong hands and secured rebounds aggressively on both ends, reading the ball very well off the rim, then maneuvering into position to grab the rebound. Adrian worked tirelessly to grab many offensive rebounds, scored putbacks, and patiently used pivots/shot-fakes to get defenders off their feet to earn trips to the free throw line. She sealed a defender in the paint, used an effective hip turn and forward pivot to get the scoring angle, then finished the contested baseline layup from a difficult angle. Adrian is very mobile, and she scored layups off basket cuts throughout the day. Adrian was poised with the ball in the post, throwing kickouts to open shooters for assists, and even showed her own outside range by stepping out to sink a wing three. She didn’t shy away from contact and contributed in every statistical category for the team.

Adrian is a forward prospect from the U.P. who made a statement at The Smoke with Great Northern Elite 15U. She snagged a defensive rebound and pushed the ball all the way for a left-handed layup. Adrian has the length, strength, and gritty on ball defense you want from her position. She crashed hard to secure offensive rebounds and finished put backs. Adrian used a shot fake to freeze her defender and split the gap to score a contested layup. Adrian added an exclamation point to her performance when she caught a pass on the wing, used a low rip move, drove hard to the rim, and hung in mid-air to swish a Dr. J-style reverse layup. That brought me out of my seat! Adrian will be one of the top Yooper prospects in this 2028 class without a doubt.
