After watching Lilly play firsthand at the PGH Michigan College Tour IV, I’m not surprised at all to see she’s ranked in the top five. Lilly was a playmaker for Kia Nurse Elite EYBL. Her performance in the Championship Game helped the team secure the win and earned All-Tournament First Team honors. Lilly attacked hard on a baseline drive and finished a tough layup through the final defender. She drilled a deep wing three beyond the college line, drained an off-platform jumper from the free throw line, and crashed the boards to score a reverse layup putback off two feet. Lilly made a great transfer in stride for a catch and finish layup from a difficult angle without the backboard. She changed hands comfortably in the open court to escape pressure and created transition scoring by pushing uptempo after securing defensive rebounds. Lilly earned trips to the foul line and separated herself with length, skill, and athleticism in the backcourt that translates to the higher levels.

Lilly impacts the game on both ends of the floor. Defensively, she utilizes her length well to jump passing lanes and create steals. Offensively, she is an excellent three-point shooter who moves effectively without the ball to create open looks around the perimeter. Lilly sees the floor well and consistently finds open teammates when opportunities present themselves. Her shooting ability is especially dangerous, as even the slightest amount of space can result in points.

Day is a speedy point guard with exceptional quickness, leaving defenders behind with ease. Her high basketball IQ helps her make smart decisions under pressure, whether finding open teammates or executing in critical moments. Her athleticism shines in both offensive and defensive transitions, making her a versatile and impactful player. All around scorer who will continue to flourish with more reps and clutch game situations.
