Expert Analysis
Darvoni Christopher | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Although Lila has primarily played the shooting guard position throughout her career, she has the ability to run the point when needed. She does a great job coming off ball screens and staying ready to shoot, which makes her a consistent scoring threat.
In transition, she is often the first player down the floor, ready to spot up for a catch-and-shoot three if she doesn’t have the ball in her hands. When she does push the pace herself, she looks to attack the rim or pull up into a mid-range jumper, showing confidence in her scoring ability at multiple levels.

Lila contributed for Team 5 on both ends of the court, while showing off her speed and versatility at the Sophomore ID Camp. She has sound shooting mechanics, filling up the hoop with triples from the wing and the corner. Lila zoomed around the court with boundless energy from sideline to sideline, working hard to pressure ball-handlers on the perimeter. She recovers swiftly on defense and spring boarded up to block a shot. Lila chased down rebounds and scored a strong offensive rebound put-back.

Read EvaluationBrandon Bradley | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Lila is a very intriguing young guard who saw some opportunity as a rookie, averaging 5.5 points in 28 games. That should increase considerably in year-2, as the Wolves suffered significant graduation losses. Lila is a long, wiry-strong, quick, fast, and somewhat bouncy prospect who can play a variety of roles. She does a nice job of scoring it at all three levels, and if she gets the corner, she’s probably getting to the basket. She has a solid handle and can run offense, plus she can make a rhythm jumper. Lila can also be a talented on-ball defender.

Lila was in one of the first games I watched Saturday, and she didn’t disappoint throughout the day. She is long, wiry-strong, fluidly athletic, and bouncy. She is very active and seems to always be around the basketball. She can handle it a little and create for herself or teammates, she has some touch when she gets her feet set and finds rhythm, plus she is a versatile defender and a nice pursuing rebounder. As she gets stronger, she could be a real problem.
