Grace is a really nice basketball player, and she’s one of my favorites to watch. She plays extremely hard, she’s very physical whether she’s inside or outside, and she has good all-around skill. She can play a wing spot offensively, knock down 3-pointers, attack the basket, or play effectively in the mid-post. Defensively, she is probably best as a ‘4’, but she can defend some wings, I just worry a little about switching onto guards. She is another really nice scholarship candidate who can help someone immediately.

I’ve always enjoyed watching Grace play, and I’m impressed with how much leaner and more mobile she looks this year. She is a versatile forward who can battle inside, rebound, and defend, but she also has some perimeter skill. She can push in transition, knock down a rhythm 3-pointer, and she has good vision and a natural feel for the game. She has really nice length, can defend multiple positions, and I think could be a nice inside-out college recruit.

Typically, you see prospects work tirelessly on their skill so they can move away from the basket, but Grace’s development over her first two years of high school has sort of worked in reverse. Not that she hasn’t worked on her skill, but she has gotten so much stronger and more physical, she has gone from a point forward/wing type of prospect to someone who can now play more consistently in the mid-post and battle/defend inside. Assuming she continues to play around the perimeter like she has in the past, her inside-out versatility could make her a priority forward for some of the better Midwestern small colleges this Fall and next Spring.
