Essence was the best player on the floor for most of her games in Chicago. She’s a great leader and communicator on the floor that can handle and pass the rock very well. Her ability to see the floor, hit the pull up jumper, and read her opponents by getting in passing lanes is what made her stand out so much. E is a top PG in Florida’s 2028 class without a doubt.

Essence is one of the most explosive guards in the 2028 class and is inching closer to a Top 20 spot in Florida. Her game is at it’s best when she’s getting downhill and scoring around the rim or hitting the mid-range jumper. She has a nice hesitation move in her bag and utilizes fakes as well. Most recently, she’s had the privilege to compete with the Puerto Rican u16 FIBA Americup team in Mexico.
