Expert Analysis
Marissa Rimbert | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
A strong interior presence, she uses her size and physicality effectively in the paint while maintaining a solid base against contact. Her basketball IQ also shows in press-break situations, where she catches in the middle, squares up, and uses a pivot to survey the floor and identify diagonal passing lanes. That combination of strength, composure, and decision-making makes her a valuable piece in helping her team handle pressure and initiate offense.

Huckaby upside is scary because she already has that “college-ready frame” to go along with her solid skillset. Her “hands and footwork” are nice, so is her drop step, especially when she scores with players hanging on her. She rebounds, on both ends, defends, and stands at “the magic number.”

Huckaby sold me a couple of seasons ago because I saw the potential, and I knew what was coming because of not only her frame as well as height, but even in the 6th grade, she was doing things fluidly. Her “hands and footwork” look better, and trust me, they will create major problems in the not-so-distant future as she scores around the basket, putbacks included, so yes, she rebounds on both ends and does a good job defensively. Wait, her outlet passes had me smh
