Peterson continues to make steady progress, moving ahead to #18. At 6-foot-1 with long arms, a strong frame and powerful lower body, Jersey owns some scarce physical tools that immediately attract attention. What’s impressive is how effectively she is learning to use them to maximum effect. Peterson establishes position, boxes out, rebounds with purpose and finishes efficiently through contact. Her footwork has become noticeably quicker, while an expanding face-up game and improving mid-range shot provide options beyond scoring around the basket. Defensively, she may have even greater upside. Peterson moves her feet well, uses her length and timing to alter shots and generally plays with good discipline. She is becoming increasingly comfortable and assertive, turning an intriguing collection of physical tools into consistent production.

Jersey competes on one of Sanford Sioux Falls’ AAU teams and is a key piece to any team she is on due to her impressive 6’1 frame.  She has potential to be an exceptional defender.  She moves her feet well and keeps opponents in front of her.  She alters shots with her long arms and has the base to be great at boxing out and getting defensive rebounds.
