We have seen offensive ability that Bailey Joens brings to the hardwood this Spring while she is playing up with the 15U AIA EYBL program on the road. Joens is a knock down shooter from any range and she has some situational awareness to pair with that. She can put the ball on the floor and get to her spots or all the way to the rack if she is overplayed and she always knows where to space too when one of her fellow teammates is looking to create themselves. Joens is going to be a staple at her high school this Fall. She should be one of her team’s best players right off the bat and I’m sure she is going to produce. Now we will just have to wait and see how good she gets before committing to the D1 level someday.

The shooting ability of the Joens family always seems to travel. We have seen that first hand with Bailey Joens for a couple of weeks now on the road. As you might be able to imagine, this a high level scoring prospect that has been taught how to attack the defense in a number of different ways depending on the situation. Right now her best ability is definitely letting it fly from deep behind the three point line but we have also seen her dribble it into the midrange and all the way to the basket in some instants whenever she is being forced to dribble the ball so it’s really a pick your poison situation. I would be shocked if Joens didn’t start as a Freshman on Varsity within the next six months. Her ability to light the nets on fire in itself is enough to make a statement so anything else she brings to the table is just a plus.

If you are familiar with women’s basketball within Iowa then you know all about the Joens sisters from throughout the past years and what they are capable of on both sides of the floor. The next sister in line from this group, that is going to be one heck of a high school player soon enough is Bailey. Bailey, just like the rest of the family, possesses the ability to put the rock in the net at a high rate with her shooting prowess. This past weekend she was someone that demonstrated that she doesn’t need a lot of time or space. If she see’s an opening and gets it off cleanly, it’s going to look like a great attempt coming off of her hand from deep and it’s usually going to go in a majority of the time. She also showed off her ability to put the ball on the floor, getting to other open spots within the three point line whenever she was overplayed defensively. This is only the tip of the iceberg for Bailey as a hooper. She is going to be a name we write about a lot over the next few years throughout the State if she just keeps up being consistent.
