About Lilly
Expert Analysis
Brandon Bradley | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Lilly is another extremely long, tall, wiry perimeter ‘4’ who should draw her share of top-tier small college attention because of her ability to shoot the basketball. She has grown up shooting it and handling it for Knightstown, so when she gets her feet set, and has rhythm and space, she can knock it down from outside. She has learned to be more physical throughout her high school career, and at the college level, rebounding is important for anyone over about 5-9 these days, especially small college ball. She’s another one who uses her length well, and she affects/blocks a lot of shots.

Lilly is one of those prospects who, as a Freshman, you could see had a great deal of upside/potential. She is extremely long, she runs the floor well North/South, and she has a nice mixture of mid-post to perimeter skill. She can step outside and shoot it, she can put it on the floor and attack the basket, plus she’s a solid pursuing rebounder who will use her length to grab boards outside of her area. Her production as a Junior this year has reached a high point, as she is averaging 18.1 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 2.2 steals per game. She might even still have another inch left in her to grow.

I had seen a little of Lilly on film throughout the Winter, but this was my first time watching her in-person. She is extremely long and wiry, but she could definitely benefit from added strength. Some of that will come naturally as she finishes growing, but the quicker she can get there, the lower and more consistently she can play. What I do like is that she’s very active, she’s willing to be physical, and she has good skill facing the basket. I’m not convinced she’s a pure wing yet, more of a combo forward, but she flashes that potential. For now, she’s great in the mid-post, and she can defend forwards and bigger wings.
