Jensen outsized everyone at the event and she took full advantage of it. Showing off her quick feet to create short drives and free throw line jumpers she also passed well to shooters spotting up, to set up kick-move-catch-finish plays and hit cutters. Jensen consistently showed finishing ability with either hand as well. Defensively, she used her footwork to challenge plays. Her transition speed cut down opportunities for defenders to try to out-run her also.

Jensen’s great size was a problem in itself but add her diverse skill set and transition speed into the mix and you have a player most teams had to double or triple team. Jensen showed quick footwork on both ends, smarts in finding the open shooter out of double teams and scoring ability with turnaround jumpers and finishes with either hand.

After a year away from the game Jensen took the floor by storm over the summer. She is a legitimate center with great size that few high school players can handle at all. And she has always had the ability to score it using her quick feet. What she showed over the summer is unexpected north-south speed, scoring ability going both ways, good hands and three point shooting. Her quick feet and smarts make her an effective defender who has no trouble clearing the ball to start the Maverick transition game.

Makynlee was one of the best post prospects I saw in the EYCL. She has a strong frame and finished so well in the paint and snagged a ton of offensive boards. Her versatility was on display as she’s able to step out and knock down the 3 ball, but what was most impressive was her soft touch inside – she even hit a clean lefty hook from about 10 feet.

and did a consistently good job of transitioning both ways. Her interior footwork is as good as ever inside on both ends and showed diversity in her scoring ability. From quality turnaround jumpers over solid defense to catching and finishing on the run to stepping out for a three. Jensen used a variety of post moves around the hoop, grabbed and cleared boards well and showed toughness recovering from hard hits and falls. I would like to see Jensen bend her knees more to work lower rebounding. She got wiped out on hard box-out that might not have had such a hard result.
