Duckworth is a couple of inches shy of “the magic number” yet watching her use her frame on both ends, as well as her continuously improving skillset, gets the job done. She’s powerful around the basket and can score with players hanging on her, yet seeing her rebound, on both ends, and getting the outlet going is huge. Her interior defense also needs to be mentioned; see evaluations here

Duckworth showed me she had turned the corner at the Peggy Whitley Classic, see evaluations here, but catching her in middle school and observing her skillset, coupled with the desire to get better immediately, grabbed my attention. You have to be able to dissect games, and this young lady has truly taken hers to the next level because she’s powerful in the paint, either rebounding or defending. She’s scoring inside, finishing with either hand, and her defense is better

Duckworth was still in middle school when I first saw her and she was showing signs back then of being able to use her frame inside the paint on both ends as well as score strongly around the basket see evaluations here Fast forward to now, she is defending in and outside the paint, her lateral movement has gotten better and she scoring off the dribble as well as dropping the short jumper

Duckworth has made an impressive transformation on the court as she’s showing signs of being able to control a game inside the paint, on both ends. She’s strong yet seeing her BATTLE for everything off the rim, on both ends, as well as going after loose balls gets her my #THROWBACK hashtag. She scored around the basket, saw the floor, and also blocked shots, but seeing her play the passing lane JUST DID IT for me
