Hadleigh brought a strong presence in the paint with the work she did on both ends of the floor. Offensively, she ran the floor well from the post position and worked hard to establish herself inside, sealing her defender and creating a clear target for her teammates. Her ability to rim run also allowed her to get into scoring position before the defense could fully get set. On the defensive end, Hadleigh protected the basket with multiple blocks and showed good discipline when defending the post, walling up and making finishes around the rim difficult. Her combination of positioning, rim running, and interior defense allowed her to make an impact in the paint throughout the day.

Hadleigh, playing on Team 2 at The Expo, brought a strong interior presence throughout the day. From her post position, she impressed with how well she ran the floor, consistently getting ahead in transition and putting herself in position around the rim. In the half court, Hadleigh worked hard to establish position, sealing her defender and giving her teammates a clear target inside. Defensively, she protected the paint with multiple blocks and did a nice job walling up in the post without giving up easy looks.

Hadleigh was a breakout player on the PGH Circuit with The House , and she’s a 6-footer that I’m expecting to see an increase in interest from the college level sooner rather than later. She’s athletic, long, competes with a high motor, protects the basket as a shot blocker, and has enough mobility to close out and disrupt perimeter shooters. Hadleigh is a putback machine, finishes well around the rim, gets guards open looks by setting strong screens, and makes good reads/basket cuts off the ball. She’ll be a forward that has coaches saying “who’s that” at The Expo on Saturday.

Hadleigh is a player I would love to see at The Expo because of the motor, athleticism, and length she brings to the floor. I’ve had the opportunity to watch her play, and she finds ways to make an impact with her activity on both ends. Hadleigh is a strong rebounder who works the offensive glass for second-chance opportunities and can finish around the basket after securing boards. She moves well without the ball, has strong hands when receiving passes inside, and isn’t afraid to step out and take a three. Defensively, her length and timing allow her to protect the rim, contest shots, deflect passes, and disrupt possessions without constantly fouling. She also does some of the little things, including setting solid screens and competing for position around the basket. With her length, athleticism, rebounding, and defensive presence, Hadleigh is another player I would love to see competing at The Expo.

Hadleigh is a PGH Circuit stock riser. She competes with a high motor, plays physical, has athleticism, and possesses length that immediately jumps out. Hadleigh gave The House ‘] 17U an edge with her shot blocking and aggressive rebounding. She crashed the glass and scored multiple putbacks. Hadleigh cut to the basket, caught the entry pass with strong hands, and finished with a layup. She wasn’t afraid to shoot the three. Hadleigh closed out quickly to contest perimeter jumpers, deflected entry passes, and was disruptive in the paint. She set strong screens, swatted multiple layup attempts away without fouling, and scored with a nice reverse finish after securing an offensive rebound.
