Mrecer made my Space City Slam – Brings BIG Surprises 17U Tip Sheet back in April; see the evaluation here. As good as she was back then, she is even better, with an abundance of intangibles, as well as taking the game over on both ends of the court. Yes, she still went AFTA everything off the rim, but loose balls need to be added, as well as her timing to block shots. She also scored off the dribble and around the basket, but her midrange looked good, as well as her defense, both inside and outside the paint

Mercer gave me a glimpse of yesteryear, when there were players who didn’t stand near “the magic number” but played as if they were above it. She moved well laterally to defend inside the paint, and she also hit the boards hard on both ends. She also understands how to use her “college-ready frame” around the basket to score
