on Friday, racking up 12 points, 4 rebounds, 2 steals and 6 blocks. The lefty is an impactful post presence with her defense. She protects the rim but can also guard on the perimeter and quickly eliminate open looks. On offense, Shelton uses her body well to bury opponents under the basket with backdowns and drop steps.

Up from No. 29: Very good shot blocker with an interesting offensive skill set. Southpaw can score in the post and split traps on the block. Has a soft touch that extends out to the three-point line. Can put the ball on the floor in spurts.

Offers should start trickling in for AK. At 6-foot-1, there is a lot to like about Shelton’s game. She is a great shot blocker that both protects the rim and guards on the perimeter. Speaking of perimeter, the lefty can step outside to shoot the three. In the paint, Akilah is a threat to score on putbacks and likes to dive across the lane to get to her left.
