Lily was one of the most impressive players I watched this past weekend. She’s quick, changes pace effectively, and plays under control in both transition and the half-court. She sees the floor well and consistently makes the right passing reads. Her jumper stands out immediately thanks to its compact, repeatable mechanics. Against 24, she knocked down several timely threes that helped keep her team within striking distance. Lily has established herself as one of the best shooters I’ve seen all spring.

I’ve mentioned Lily a couple of times recently, and she is a big influence on the offense at Elkhart Christian, helping them to the Semi-State round just a few months ago. She is long and wiry, quick, fast, and fluid athletically, and she is always around the basketball. She creates turnovers as a defender and flips the floor quickly creating layup opportunities. She is also an accurate 3-point shooter within their halfcourt offense. Lily has a solid handle and can initiate the offense, which is key because she’ll likely be a point guard at the next level.

Lily is one of a few underclassmen to help Elkhart Christian to two of their best seasons in school history the last couple of years. She has some speed and quickness, she has nice length at her height, and she can play a variety of roles if needed. She has always been a fairly accurate shooter from outside when set and in rhythm, but she can also turn the corner and get through the paint. Friday, she got several easy layups in transition. I’d like to see how she handles playing on the ball a bit more against better guards, because I think she has the skillset, but she has always had PGs alongside her.
