Mbacke is one of the top prospects in the state, and the D1 interest flooding in this summer is no surprise. She has size, length, patience, and the lateral footwork to stay attached to any defender on the perimeter, with the length to disrupt and contest at the next level. But what makes her truly special is how fun she is to watch. She plays with ferocity and confidence, has great vision, and is strong with the ball in any situation. Her ability to stop and go on a dime makes her nearly impossible to stay in front of, and once she gets downhill, she finishes with ease. She turns defense into offense, pushes the break, plays beautifully off screens, and can make every pass on the floor.

One of the best defenders in the state of New York, Mbacke comes into the summer fresh off leading her team to a championship and is poised to carry that momentum onto the circuit. She sets the tone with her defensive intensity, wreaking havoc on the perimeter and consistently making life difficult for opposing guards with relentless pressure and contests. Offensively, she thrives in the open floor, pushing the pace and attacking in transition. She embraces a physical style of play, driving to the basket using strong body control and angles to shield off defenders and finish through contact. Her court IQ stands out, particularly as a playmaker who creates opportunities for herself and her teammates.

Falla is a rising guard from the Bronx already making waves on the city circuit. She averaged 14.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game during her recent club season. Mbacke can attack off the dribble, knock down shots, and create for teammates, making her a dual offensive threat. On defense, her length and quick hands generate turnovers that fuel transition opportunities. She thrives in high pressure situations and consistently shows poise handling the ball. Mbacke’s next step is proving herself on varsity and in elite tournaments against older competition. With continued development of her outside shot and decision making, she could emerge as on of the Bronx’s top guards in the class of 2029.
