Expert Analysis
Larry Golden | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
When you watch Haywood play the first thing that comes to my mind is her competitiveness. She won’t take a play off and that is important when you are looking for players that will contribute to winning. As a defense you must know where she is at all times as she can hurt you on and off the ball. When the ball is in her hands she has a functional enough handle to get to her spots on the floor to score it or make a play for her teammate. Haywood off the ball is just as dangerous as you can run her off of screens like elevators and pin downs for her to shoot the three. She attacks closeouts with quick and decisive attacks to the rim or pull up jumpers when the secondary defensive player is coming to help. Lastly, her defense is methodical and she is seemingly looking for ways to turn the other team over with quick hands in passing lanes, or using a rondo like tap behind to get the steal. She’s also not afraid to take a charge. Haywood is a player that I will continuously keep my scout’s eye on to track development in other areas.
