Lila Coates Lila Coates 5'11" | CG/SG Mary G. Montgomery | 2028 AL caught my attention early in 3-on-3 play with her consistent shooting ability, and she carried that momentum into 5-on-5 action. At 5’11, Coates has the positional size to get her shot off comfortably, making her a big-time catch-and-shoot threat from the perimeter. What made her performance even more encouraging was her ability to attack downhill and create opportunities at the basket when defenders closed out too aggressively. Her length also gave her a noticeable presence defensively, allowing her to impact possessions beyond scoring. Coates’ combination of size, perimeter shooting, and attacking ability makes her a forward worth tracking in the Class of 2028.
