Expert Analysis
Brandyn Newbins | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Laila earned her spot after a freshman campaign where she made things happen on the offensive end. Her ability to stretch the floor with her shooting makes her a tough matchup. Add in her willingness to defend the full length of the floor and use her size on the boards and you have a guard who affects multiple areas of the game.

Laila Armstromg has come up huge in her first campaign on Vista Peak’s varsity squad. Adding on 9 PPG, 4.5 RPG, and nearly 2 SPG, there is no denying Armstrong makes the most of her minutes. A crafty forward who can swing up to be a guard, Armstrong makes defenses pay for any inch of space to work with. Her fine-tuned jumper and footwork translate into a seamless line of scoring. Communicative on defense, Armstrong switches efficiently on screens and always stays in between passing lanes. In transition, good luck guarding Armstrong as she’s lightning quick getting to the rim.

A guard/wing who is earning quality minutes in every game. While she’s still finding her offensive groove she continues to stay aggressive and confident. That has allowed her to make a real difference on the defensive end of the floor.

Laila’s capable of playing both guard and forward making her a matchup problem. She’s a knockdown shooter from three who stretches the floor. Her quick first step allows her to get into the paint and finish or draw contact. With her size and versatility she will be a key piece who can impact the game in plenty of ways.

Laila is long, athletic, and shoots the ball at a high level. She’s able to rise up and get her shot off over smaller defenders in the post while also handling pressure in the backcourt. On top of that, she rebounds the ball well and helps her team on both ends.

‘s size and wingspan give her an advantage, but her skill set turns heads. She shoots the three with confidence from deep range and has a soft touch on her floater when getting into the paint. Her ability to finish or find an open teammate makes her a versatile offensive piece with real two-way upside.

Armstrong is definitely already checking all the boxes on the court for Tru Colorado 14U. Off the court too, this SF is a great teammate. She is talking, cheering on her teammates and keeps the bench energy going. On the court, she is also a difference maker. She has great handles both with dribbles and in catching the ball in scoring spots. She also sees the court well, finding her teammates to score, on top of seeing her own bucket opportunities. Her opportunities look good from any where on the court, she scores with confidence in the paint, from 2pt and 3pt range. On D, Laila uses her length to create problems on the perimeter as well as in the paint. She gets steals from dribblers and shooters but can also get stops and rebounds from defensive work in the paint. Most definitely get to see Tru Colorado 14U with Armstrong this summer, fun to watch.
