Expert Analysis
Marissa Rimbert | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
White is a solid guard who can attack from the perimeter and score at multiple levels. Her quick first step allows her to gain an edge on defenders, putting pressure on the paint and drawing fouls on aggressive drives. When finesse isn’t needed, she uses her strength to outmuscle opponents and finish through contact.

White made my GAMECHANGERS Tip Sheet at She’s A Bucket, see evaluations here, but that’s become the norm over the years because she’s a “long and athletic” guard, that too is the base, and seeing her attack from wherever she wants and finish strongly after the lick causes problems. She drops the jumper, BATTLES for rebounds and scores around the basket, putbacks included, yet her “on the ball” pressure is also solid

White is a “long and athletic” guard, and her first step leaves the defender cemented to the court at times. She finishes strongly after contact, she also scores on putbacks, yes, she hits the boards on both ends, and her pressure defense both in the set and full court is also nice. She can handle the ball while being pressured, and her court vision is solid

#20 Up from #34
White has taken her game to another level and watching her maneuver through traps and double teams during the playoffs to score off the dribble made me smile. She’s an athletic guard who understands how to use her athleticism on both ends of the court and her stop-and-pop jumper is special see evaluation here as she helped lead her team on a deep run and was named to the 6A D2 All-Tournament team

White showed she could score a long time ago yet her doing it at this stage has been a treat as she closed out her high school season with double digits. Off the dribble to finish after contact is smooth yet her jumper, either pull-up or “stop and pop” is a problem for defenders

White has also added more to her impressive game and watching her handle the ball with ease under pressure, with either hand, is a huge plus especially since she’s not only seeing the floor in the set as well as in transition bit off the dribble, she’s dishing with either. Her finishes are strong, after contact, her pull-up jumper is a threat and she’s doing a good job defending “on the ball”

White showed up and out at the PGH Dynasty Kick-Off Classic and she appears to have grown because asked her what her name was, yeah when a player goes off, I actually get up and find out. Here’s the deal, she moved up a few spots yet SHE AIN’T DONE and I expect her to continue to climb but see evaluation here from this past weekend

White gets the cover photo because she continues to show she’s becoming harder to cover and when you can find ways to put the ball into the basket from the guard spot, that’s big because she scores off the dribble and finishes after the lick yet she also can outrebound taller players and score on putbacks. She did a good job seeing the floor in the court, as well as in the set and watching her drop it from outside with ahand in her face will have her JEFFERSONIZED in the rankings, Movin On Up

White caught my eye back at the Heart Of Texas earlier this season and had both of them completely open at, you guessed it, The Opening. Her explosiveness and understanding how to use her athleticism, on both ends of the court makes her a threat on both ends because her defense can be smothering, baseline t baseline, and watching her not only attack the basket but use some very nice body control on her finishes, after contact was nice, so was her court vision
