Expert Analysis
BJ Batson | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
There are a few things you can count when watching Braalyn play world class speed and a very high motor, which leads to her constant movement on the court. That drive allows Whitehead to show off that elite quickness getting up and down on the break and slashing to the basket from the wings. She shot the ball very well from three with multiple makes in the game I watched at the event. The constant pressure she applies on the ball and jumping into passing lanes results in steals, deflections, and disorder for opposing offenses. She looked like a player ready to breakout with her play the rest of the Spring and Summer for Wood Elite .

Braalyn proved once again she can take over a game quickly using her elite athleticism and track star speed. Multiple times in the game she picked the ballhandlers pocket or jumped in the passing lane before flying past everyone on the court and laying the ball up. She is a threat from three point range, especially in catch and shoot situations. Whitehead is very comfortable and good shooting the ball from the elbow as well. Whitehead also got in the paint and competed with much bigger players for rebounds and came away with some herself. She gave Archer a big spark in the game when they needed it.

Slasher that can get in the paint at any given moment and score through the contact. Quick PG that sees the gaps and knows how to get her teammates involved. Floor general that knows how to play with pace.
