Masara’s game has taken a noticeable step forward over the winter, and she gave the crowd a glimpse of that growth on Saturday. She thrives starting from the wing in the triple-threat, where she can attack the baseline or rise into a smooth step-back jumper. In transition, she runs the floor as well as anyone, and her ability to score on the break often ignites her overall game.

Masara has not taken a shot she does not like, as she is a true multi-level scorer. She is most effective off the ball in scoring position, where she can attack the baseline or step back and knock down the three. Masara remains somewhat under the radar while averaging 18 points per game.

Masara’s speed in the open court stands out, consistently pushing the tempo and leading the break with confidence. In the half court, she can stretch the floor from deep while also attacking the basket with a variety of moves. She plays with a scorer’s mentality and showed it as Indian Creek’s leading scorer with 18 points. If her perimeter shot becomes more consistent, she has the potential to push her scoring average even higher.

Masara can do special things with the ball once the game settles, as she was the driving force behind Indian Creek’s late push. Knowing the competitor she is, she would probably say she had an off night, even with 12 points. The scary part is—she’s right. Her perimeter shot wasn’t falling, but as a multi-level scorer, she adjusted and attacked the rim instead. Most defenders simply couldn’t stay in front of her. If she can avoid foul trouble, Masara has the upside to consistently push toward the 20-point mark.

Masara made play after play in her game against Manchester Valley. She was disruptive on defense turning steals into points. She finished well on multiple plays, one being a sweet reverse layup to avoid the blocked shot. She has the ability to be one of the top players in the class and have an impact season if she stays focused and continues to play like she did on Saturday.
