Cruedele has remained a player scouts see as a 3&D talent.. and she has the foundation that proves that. She can light you up from the outside and make plays with and without the ball, but her aggression in causing havoc on her matchup is one of her biggest standouts. Lyons will have her in a different role than she’s used to, and it will be interesting to see how she steps into it. A player to keep an eye on this season.

Crudele brought a cerebral element to the floor, particularly in the way she seemed to understand where the next play was developing even when she wasn’t the one controlling the ball. Her court vision, even when she wasn’t the main ball-handler, was impressive. She can stretch the floor with both the three and the long two, and showed she has the ability to heat up from the perimeter. It was fun watching her play some two-(wo)man offense with Cooper (featured above) near the end of the game. Tightening up her rebounding fundamentals and staying locked in on box-outs will help Crudele avoid unnecessary fouls and be the next piece of the puzzle for her game.

A definite stock riser. Crudele had some major moments in the showcase. The footwork and ball handling are there, and she knows how to put the two together. The scoring ability is present too, and as that becomes more consistent and her reads become quicker, she’ll find herself being a key piece for her high school program this year.

Crudele is one of those hard-hat players who approaches each possession with a high sense of aggression. She has the ball-handling ability to get to her next spot, but her ability to stretch the court has been a major key to her impact when she’s on the floor. Heading into a new high school program this year, we’ll be able to see a different side of her game, and this showcase should provide a first look at that.

Crudele is scrappy- and she’s someone that you need to know where she is at all times! Love her court vision and crisp passing! Plays with great instinct!  Answers back with a three after opponent scores! Always going after loose balls! (Featured Photo)
