continued to establish herself as one of the up and coming top 2029 point guards. Her leadership at the point and her ability to control the pace of the game were very noticeable. In transition is where you see the magic in her game. She can stress a defense out with her ability to attack the rim on offensive sets and on fast breaks when she has the defense on its heals. The young guard was exciting to watch and she ‘s just getting started with major upside beyond the palms.

Bri consistently impacts the game by rebounding the ball and immediately pushing in transition, whether with her handle or by advancing the ball with the pass. She does a good job surveying the floor and keeping her head up while bringing the ball up the court, allowing her to make smart reads in the open floor. Her mid-range game looked especially strong this weekend, and she showed the ability to score from multiple levels offensively.

Brianna is one of the most fundamentally sound players in the 2029 class. She has really good form on her shot and regularly makes the right pass with her vision and decision making. In her film, she read the defense and made a solid one-handed swing pass as well as a really strong overhead skip pass that gave the defense no chance to recover or steal it. Bri does a great job of feeding her post player when they are rim running and also in half-court sets. Her ability to get downhill with her dribble and play basketball the right way makes her an intriguing Freshman guard in the Sunshine State.

Brianna was one of the top performers from the Freshman Showcase as one of the best 2029’s in the Orlando area. She has a great stroke with a quick release and amazing form. Her crafty finishes around the rim, feel for the game, court vision, shiftiness, and shot-making ability with consistency make her an easy addition to the 2029 Watch List. Watch for her TFA team to make some noise this season with a young, talented squad.

did exactly what I expected—she showed up and played amazing. What stood out the most was her ability to shoot off the catch. If you swing the ball to her quickly, there’s no way the defense can recover in time. Her mechanics are sharp, as she’s already set in her stance before the ball even arrives, needing only to rise up and cash in, She was money all day from behind the arc. Nolan was also very impressive in transition; when pushing the ball, she sees the floor well and passes teammates open. When off the ball, she understands the importance of running wide and creating great spacing. A high-IQ player who will continue to improve,
