Expert Analysis
Sam Duren | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Even against Edmond North’s tough defense, Wilson was still able to consistently get paint touches. And even had a heck of a contested “and 1” finish in the third quarter. It was one of the highlights of her game, but her finishing at the rim was a mixed bag. Sometimes she got too deep into the teeth of a tall and tough North defense. Given her speed, she’s often be able to blow by the first defender. Especially as she has improved her “in and out” and other dribble moves. But understanding when to break out of a tear drop floater, pull up jumpers and other giant killer type moves will help her thrive against top competition.
Had similar teaching moments on the defensive end. While she’s a tenacious and quick on the ball defender, older more savvy players can at times take advantage of her aggressiveness. Improving her feel on both ends of the court will continue to allow her to rise and match her high potential given to her by her natural athletic gifts.
