<p class="text-gray-700">VandenToorn is a very intriguing prospect with an impressive upside. She walked into high school as an immediate contributor and has just gotten better. VandenToorn can play on or off the ball and has a smooth and consistent stroke from beyond the arc.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Thelen is certainly a player from the watch list to keep an eye on. She's a talented player that keeps showing obvious signs of improvement. Thelen had some nice games in big moments late last season and she's currently showing increased aggressiveness and confidence offensively.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Skinner is an underrated overall athlete. One of those people that's just really good at every sport they're involved in. Skinner moves well off the ball and has a knack for finding open space. She has the jumper to take full advantage of that space as well.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Scott is definitely a player that scouts and coaches should keep an eye on moving forward. She's powerful on the glass and will often be a points and rebounds double-double threat. Scott picks up second chance points by rebounding high and keeping it there on the put back attempt.</p>
