Julia’s skillset and ability to do it all on the court is extremely apparent. She is a player who scores at 3 levels in a variety of ways. She can knock down deep shots, stop on a dime to hit mid-range shots, get down hill to finish with either hand and even mix in a beautiful floater from time to time. She plays elite defense, moving her feet quickly to stay in front of opposing players with no problem. She has many D1 schools looking her way too and the number of them will only keep climbing at the rate she is improving on the court.

Benthin is a highly skilled guard who can score in a lot of ways. She shoots well from all levels, has the craft to manipulate defenders and work to space, and can really turn the corner with her excellent acceleration. I’ve been really impressed with her physicality over the summer, not just her strength at the rim but her ability to play with speed while changing direction and deploying dribble moves.
