already has a few offers but has not yet committed. If colleges are looking for a fast guard who can handle the ball and use her speed as a weapon by playing with pace and attacking gaps with intention and aggressiveness, Allen is the guard for you. Not only does she have athleticism, but she also has strong basketball IQ and great footwork. When her speed doesn’t work, she knows how to move the ball and use gaps to get to her spots, while her strength allows her to draw fouls, put opposing teams in foul trouble, and add points to the scoreboard. This travel season, she showed improvement in her mid-range pull-up—a necessity at the next level since you can’t always get to the rim. These abilities prove she is ready to compete at the next level.

is the perfect mix of speed and grace. Allen has the ability to fit through small gaps in the defense with her quick switch from short, controlled dribbles to long, extended dribbles that cover more ground in an instant. When you think you have her in front of you and make the mistake of relaxing, she has already blown by you. She also has the ability to use a smooth hesitation or stutter step to freeze defenders who close out too fast. Her ability to use her speed to blow by defenders while still maintaining control of the ball makes it difficult to disrupt her game.

Laila showed why she is one of the best two-way players in the state. She really locks in on defense and causes problems for the opposing teams guards. On offense, her speed and quick crossover are key for her getting around her primary defender and opening the offense up. Laila was great at finding her open teammate, finishing at the rim, or simply pulling up and elevating for a bucket.

is a prospect whose stock has risen over the Soring travel season. Allen has received an offer and has garnered a lot of interest from college coaches. Allen is an exciting player who turns steals into layup and turnovers into assists. Her ability to maneuver down the court is an impressive thing to watch. Allen can get to the rim with an explosive first step can and score off the floater or the layup and through physicality. She can also shoot the stop and pop midrange. Coaches have commented on Allen’s play and she is definitely a stockriser in the State of Florida. Defensively, Allen is a thief on the ball and “klepto” in the passing lanes and on help-side defense.

is one of the toughest point guards out there. The phrase “lethal playmaker” comes to mind when describing Allen. She can beat you in so many ways: getting downhill, getting into the paint, her float game, and her pull-up jumper in the midrange area. No one is more exciting in the transition game than Allen. She uses a combination of speed, athleticism, and skill to impact the transition game. With her speed and skillset, she has the ability to turn a defensive play into a transitional fast break and score.

is a consumate floor general. She does have the ability to get to the rim and score the ball and is an aggressive at doing so. Allen can shoot three with a beautiful left handed jumper, she can stop and pop the midrange, and has a very good float game. It’s not lost on the point guard of the talent she has around her and she uses her offensive skillset to also set up teammates. She makes plays on the inside and can also draw the defense and kick out to a shoooter. Allen is also a tough defender who plays tough on the ball defense. She has great quickness and great lateral movement on the floor.

did it all on Championship Saturday. Allen ran the point guard, distributed the ball well, and converted from downtown on a few occasions does a little of all and knocks down. Allen demonstrated great court vision and found the open teammate generally in transition. Her vertical passes were on point and her team ended up with several uncontested layups as a result. On the defensive end, Allen was a force playing excellent on-ball defense..

looked like the smooth operator that she is on the basketball court. Her speed, quickness, ball handling skills, and the sweet left handed jumper just leaves you in awe. She was a recent standout at the Prep Girl Hoops Expo, and she was just as dynamic at the Final Fall Session: Allen is shifty and fast and knows how to use these skills to gain an advantage. If you play up too close, she’s fast enough to go around the defender, and if a defender tries to retreat too quickly, she can step back and knock down the jumper. Alan use the session as a tuneup in preparation of the upcoming basketball season. She is season loading and ready to go..

was a beast with the ball in her hands. She got to the rim with some ease and creativity. Allen’s ball-handling skills and the ability to dribble with either hand and drive on either side of the goal were impressive. She was also effective in shooting the ball from behind the arc and shooting the ball in the midrange area.
