Ava Hanson is talented to say the least. Hanson is a Guard with fantastic size and an experienced skill-set. In her team’s contest at this event, she was doing a little bit of everything as her group dominated everyone that they matched up against. Hanson is not only skilled, she works really hard. She runs the floor at an elite rate, she can pick off passes by the boatload on the defensive side of the ball with her anticipation, and her shooting stroke is silky smooth. I talked to their coach from this event after one of their games and he said that Hanson has a lot of college interest from every level, which doesn’t surprise me. She works hard and she produces, all while being skilled. If she finds the correct fit for college ball, she is someone that could be an All-American type recruit. She seems dedicated to the game so as long as she is put into a position to succeed. She is going to kill it.

Ava is a competitive guard from Aberdeen Roncalli who stands out for her energy, outside shooting, and activity level on defense.  She is an absolute steal machine as she has great insticts to pick off passes and does a great job pressuring the ball.  Her high basketball IQ is evident in her decison-making on both ends and she is an efficient scorer.  Her range is impressive and she is capable of knocking down multiple threes per game.  Her perimter scoring opens up her entire team’s offense as she stretches the defense.  Her athleticism and basketball smarts make her a valuable combo guard as she can make plays for others as well as create her own shot.
