I had the chance to see Ellie Daubenmier Ellie Daubenmier 5'9" | CG Linn Mar | 2024 State IA compete a handful of times this AAU spring/summer season and each tournament she did a good job of holding her own. Daubenmier is a 5’9 Combo Guard. She can move between the 3 spot and the other guard positions if need be or in certain matchups, she can even play the 4. Defensively, she uses this same versatility to her advantage. She can play against bigger opponents in the post or she can stay on smaller guards on a switch, either way, she is usually pretty successful. For Linn Mar High School to put together a successful season, Daubenmier is going to have to be a constant for them. Someone who gives her team production in several categories, each game, no matter what. If she can do that and her teams young roster can mature quickly, they could shock some teams this winter.

Ellie Daubenmier Ellie Daubenmier 5'9" | CG Linn Mar | 2024 State IA is one of those players that can really change the outcome of a game if she is feeling confident. Daubenmier is a small forward with nice size accompanied with a guard-like skill set. She can catch on the perimeter and put it on the floor going toward the rim, she can catch and shoot when her opponent is helping off too much, and she can score over smaller defenders closer to the basket with ease on a mismatch. Looking forward, I’m interested how this AAU season will lead into her senior year of high school ball. If she can carry the momentum she has coming off of a great AAU season, she is going to have a great senior year at Linn-Mar high school.

Athletic Wing. Nice speed and first step for her height. Jumps well to the ball. Is very good at timing her opponents on the defensive end of the floor. Capable to make shots when given a moment. Constant contributor in a positive way each game.
