Expert Analysis

When I saw Aaliyah for the first time in-person about a month ago, I was very impressed with her play. She is strong/powerful at her size, she is aggressive to the basket, and she plays with a nice motor. She absorbs contact very well, she finishes softly with her left, and she has a solid mid-range pull-up. She makes enough 3-pointers to keep defenses honest, but I was actually intrigued by her vision and willingness to give it up to teammates in transition. I think she could be a quality scoring point guard at the next level.

Friday was my first time seeing Aaliyah in-person as well, and I was impressed with her play. She is strong, tough-nosed, and physical as a smaller guard. She has an “attack” mentality, whether that’s working for steals defensively or getting to the basket and seeking contact upon finishing. In fact, she made a couple of tough finishes through taller defenders in the game I saw. She was constantly active and engaged, and she always seemed to be around the ball. She can make several small colleges tougher in their backcourts.
