Hina does an excellent job of pushing the ball out on her dribbles in transition. She has good speed and control that makes her very fluid on the perimeter. She can knock down the triple and has a pull up jumper off the bounce. Nakamura has quick hands on defense that often leads to deflections and steals. She has high IQ and is a fun player to watch.

knows how to use her shot fakes effectively getting around her defenders to put up her shot whether she’s deep around the perimeter or from the midrange. She can handle the ball pushing the tempo when needed, and slow things down to set up an offensive play. She is sure to get the bucket on fast breaks getting up the court quickly in transition.

does well sliding around the arc finding the opening to put up her shot from deep. She does well tracking the ball on defense, too, knocking it away and grabbing the steal. She handles the ball well taking these turnovers up the court herself making the play on her own or making the dish to her teammates.

Hina can shoot the basketball. She has one of the nicest strokes we have seen. Nakamura gets her feet set and releases the ball in a split second. If she gets a good look, there is a fantastic chance that the basketball is going through the hoop for Team Curry . This summer, she has been lights out on the court for Team Curry .

Do not let the numbers fool you. Hina can play. This young PG had the privilege of playing on a loaded Cannon School team that won a NCISAA state title in the 2023-2024 hoops season. Hina was one of the most impressive freshman seen at the 2023 PGH Freshman Showcase and she showed us an abundance of talent with her all around skillset. She is capable of stretching the floor as she is a dynamic shooter. She can spot up from anywhere on the perimeter and she must be accounted for as she has shown the ability to be able to drain the deep ball. As she continues to develop under Cannon’s veteran coaching staff, it is only a matter of time before she starts garnering more attention.
