Elly was one of the most complete point guard prospects I saw at the Great Lakes Kickoff, and she did everything to help Team Prime Nation EYBL 15U win on Saturday. She was a complete guard with one of the highest IQs on the court. Elly continuously penetrated the defense, got two feet in the paint, collapsed the help, and kicked the ball out to open shooters. She closed out hard on the perimeter to block shots, dove for loose balls, secured rebounds, and pushed the pace to create transition scoring opportunities. Elly used a jab, took one dribble to penetrate, then created space with a step-back to bury a smooth facial three up top. She had deep three-point range and used effective pivots in the paint to score floaters. Her shifty crossovers and behind-the-back dribbles made her difficult to contain. Elly was a court general, high-IQ defender (on ball and in the gap), maintained a balanced/wide athletic stance on defense, and cut off drives with quick lateral slides. She used textbook wall-up technique to block shots and force misses on drives without fouling. She sealed the victory late. Elly swiped the ball away to score a layup, then anticipated a pass on the next possession for another steal, then drove by for a left-handed finish.
