Some players lead with statistics. Van Laecken leads with energy, voice, and competitive fire, although she also finished among the top 10 scorers in the premier 15U division at Summer Jam. The Tea guard is always communicating, encouraging, and directing traffic, making her presence felt well beyond the box score. I love her confidence as a shooter. Every shot she takes looks like she expects it to go in. Jayna also defends with a level of intensity that stands out immediately, competing hard and making life difficult for opposing guards. Long, lean, and athletic, she rebounds well for her size and consistently plays bigger than her listed height. Perhaps most importantly, she has improved a lot over time and that trajectory appears far from complete. Warwick went 3-1 on the weekend with their only loss being to tournament winners North Tartan EYBL.
