Genesis is a dynamic shot creator who uses tight, quick dribbles and sharp changes of pace to get past defenders. Once she breaks down the defense, she keeps her eyes up and avoids forcing tough shots, instead finding open teammates when help collapses. Off the ball, she stays active and constantly relocates to her preferred shooting spots. Her ability to score or facilitate out of the dribble makes her a versatile offensive weapon.

Over the summer in a couple of games watched, Castro really looked like she was one of the best players in the entire gym. She comes out swinging, showcasing her confidence as she controls the offense. The tight handle as well as timely counter moves put pressure on the defense as she takes advantage of the defense’s mishaps. In addition, Genesis is a very spirited on the other side of the ball too. She pesters sloppy ballhandlers, making them have a tough time getting comfortable. Genesis will pounce when she smells blood. Opposing teams must beware, she’ll go for the jugular and won’t let up. This aggressiveness is exactly what makes her so striking. Castro has been a buzzing name in the past, but this season it’ll be intriguing to see just how much of an impact she’ll have on her team.

The biggest suprise of the weekend without a doubt was Castro. It’s been a while since seeing her last and her performance was nothing short of dominant. It was quite impressive to see the evolution in her game, especially in the new threads. Bay State Jags’ 15u squad has a cohesive team that gives Genesis outlets as she penetrates the lane. She naturally creates opportunities for teammates and has a marvelous handle along with accurate touch passes. Although she has the skillset to take others off the dribble with her advanced handle, she showed she can get the ball out her hands quickly, understanding she’ll get it back in a better position. Castro’s shooting was reliable while remianing confident thoughout the course of many games. She showed her high arch followed by a picturesque follow-through that disregarded the defense’s presence. Her decisive decision-making led to her winning MVP awards.
