Expert Analysis
Grant McGinnis | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
#16 Dalia has emerged this year as one of the most interesting prospects in the class. She was outstanding all summer for Matt Nilsen’s Minnesota Stars team, lit it up at the PGH Freshman Showcase, and has had two excellent weeks of fall league action to begin her high school career at Minnetonka. Thornton-Fay, who transferred in from Roseville, is a multi-dimensional talent – athletic, quick, fast and bouncy. Her first step is special as is her ability to change speeds on the fly.

Dalia was a late addition to the field Sunday morning, but are we ever glad she made it in at the last minute. Plain and simple, Thornton-Fay was electric from start to finish. The ball just seems to follow her around. Thanks to a deep box of tools, including a top-notch set of handles, Dalia is able to control the tempo, set the tone and get her team into an advantageous position on offense very quickly. One-on-one she was stellar. As part of a hastily-assembled unit she was the glue that made it work. We saw it all summer with the Minnesota Stars and we saw it in three games at the Freshman Showcase. Thornton-Fay came up in Roseville but due to unexpected circumstances needed to relocate. As a result, she is now at Minnetonka where the competition for playing time will be fierce and the cast of characters is top-notch. It might take a little time but we’re confident that Thornton-Fay will prove she belongs in that kind of company, too.
