Expert Analysis
Gray Deyo | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Leila Downs Darden is ranked as one of the best players in her class for a reason. She has already broken out as a high-level player in her years of hoops as an underclassman, but as she enters her junior season, the skills she displayed on the court last year will have only sharpened.
Darden, last year for McEwen High School, filled up the stat sheet. She averaged 29.2 PPG and 12.2 RPG. Darden’s versatility on the court gives opposing teams constant issues. She can score from all three levels on offense, she can dribble like a guard, and on defense, she can defend positions 1-5. At the high school level, she is a true Swiss Army Knife player. This play has led her to get several Division I College offers.
Her versatility in defending positions 1-5, as mentioned, also showed up on the stat sheet last year. She averaged a combined 6.5 steals and blocks per game, 4.9 SPG, and 1.5 BPG.
