was one of the top playmaking guards in the building, using her ball handling and high basketball IQ to consistently create opportunities. She showed the ability to get into the heart of the defense, where she operated effectively with a floater and drew defenders before making the right read. Time and time again, she created offense by collapsing the defense and delivering timely, crafty assists. Swift also demonstrated strong awareness, attacking baseline while still keeping her eyes on the middle of the floor to find open cutters and teammates.

is a surgeon on the floor. As a point guard, she has the ability to pick apart defenses with her timely passes, control the tempo of the game, and handle on-ball pressure while still running the show. She’s the blueprint of a true floor general—someone who can control the game in tight matchups and lead her team to victory. I foresee this being one of Swift’s best seasons yet, as she’s gained even more confidence. With her ability to get to the rim and be a technician in transition, and with the talent surrounding her at Southeastern Prep Academy, she’s poised to record multiple double-doubles and even flirt with triple-doubles throughout the season.

has been sizzling on the scene since her middle school days. Her standout performance at Inside Exposure as an eighth grader still comes to mind. She was composed, confident, and showed she was built for the big moments. She’s always had the tools to shoot, pass, and defend, and what really separated her was her basketball IQ. Several years later and swift reads defenses like text messages. And she has a message for the few prospects ahead of her – her game still sizzles and she reads the game as good as ever- her ball handling and ability to handle pressure is uncanny. Swift is a true floor general who can control the tempo and pace of a game and she is able to create for teammates or take it herself. She might be peeping at the door, but if you leave a crack, she will walk in – swiftly.

Janiya in one of the best PG’s in the state with her court vision and ability to find her open teammates, so it was easy to move her into the Top 25. She thrives on getting to the rim using her handles and change of pace. She’s shifty and crafty to the bucket, but she can also knock down a mid-range jumper or deep three. Her pace and control with the rock is exactly what you need in a PG, and she’s also physical in the paint by drawing contact with a strong frame.
