<p>Jiang had me SMH for a number of reasons because she's already showing signs of dazzling with her ball handling and when you factor in her crossover, as well as slight HEZ to get by the defender, she also has the shake and bake in her bag. Yes, she sees the floor, threw a behind the back in traffic on the money, and speaking of money, she dropped the mid to long-range, step back included. She also scored off the dribble, and solid body control on her finishes</p>

<p>Holmes falls into that #sizedontmatter group I love to hashtag because she can play. She does a good job creating her shot under pressure to drop the jumper and showed a deceptive first step to attack the basket and finish. Let me also add that she's fearless, yes her body control is nice but peep this, she finished with either hand. She also has good court vision as well as upside</p>

<p>Torres has a couple of <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2023/09/she-cant-hold-me-game-1-team-buckets/">write-ups</a></em></strong> from me and <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2023/06/new-faces-the-legends-tournament-pt-2/">I love reading what I wrote previously</a></em></strong> so here's the deal, she's a long and athletic guard which is also the base and her first step has gotten even better to get by the defender and score off the dribble. Her body control is nice, she creates her shot and drops it while being defended but she also showed the jumper in transition, not to leave out the "catch and shoot"</p>

<p>Henry gets the #THROWBACK hashtag for not only "never taking a play off" but also going after everything, off the rim as well as loose balls diving on the floor. She gave me the "touch pass" as well as how powerful she was attacking the basket and showing how strong she was on her finishes, after contact. Yeah, body control played a part in that but her crossover was huge, so was her pull-up jumper</p>

<p>Clark has also made a couple of my <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2023/09/she-cant-hold-me-game-2-team-buckets/">Tip Sheets</a></em></strong> yet here's a big <strong><em><a href="https://girlzprepreport.blogspot.com/search?q=Ella+Clark">Tip</a></em></strong>, she has Top 100 written all over her because as much as she had shown me previously, she has even more intangibles which are intriguing. Let me start with her doing things instinctively, which is always a good sign. She elevates on her jumper to drop, she also elevates to rebound and block shots, yes her timing is good. I knew she had solid court vision in the set but it's also a big plus in transition but her skillset is ahead of her years and she is also "long and athletic" which one more time, will always be the base</p>
