An exciting prospect ready to hoop for the Lady Stars. A scoring threat from all over the court, she can catch and shoot in rhythm to knock down a 3 or attack downhill with a move to finish at the rim. She brings an impressive body of work into a program that is on an upswing. Love her dawg-like mentality where she’s laser-focused and disciplined. She plays every possession like it’s her last. She’s a solid defender who will compete. Look for her to continue to grow and help this program build a solid foundation.

A solid two-way player who can score the rock. A multi-level scoring threat with a nice field stroke. She can knock down shots in rhythm or create off the dribble and finish around the rim. Plays tough on the defensive side of the ball as well, holding her ground and making it hard for opponents to score. She plays with such energy and passion; her style of play will give the Lady Stars a jolt. Look for her to contribute early and help this program make some noise this season.

A kid who can score from all over the floor. Off the bounce, catch-and-shoot, she’s always in position to put the ball in the hole. She not only held her own at the Expo but also showcased her range and her quickness with the ball in her hands. She also got after it defensively. Look for her to be a solid piece to this up-and-coming Siegel Stars team. She will get a lot of minutes early and often.

Avery had one of the better days of any of the very skilled 2030s that were in attendance at the PGH Tennessee Expo. Her youth did not affect her aggressiveness on the offensive end playing against much older players. Shooters shoot and Smith had her feet ready, shoulders squared to the basket, and was able to quickly get off and knock down shots from the perimeter consistently on Sunday. Avery is not just a shooter however, as showed finishing from the midrange and painted areas during full court play as well. She also snuck out on the break at least one time for an uncontested layup in stride. I look forward to watching her play again. She should have a very good high school career and be a kid college coaches are after in the next few years.
