Nakeyla was one of the more advanced guards at the event from a skill set standpoint. She showed a strong understanding of how to use her off arm to shield the ball and create driving angles, while also using her body well to get past defenders. Her pace stood out immediately — she never looked sped up or out of control in any of the games I watched. Offensively, she proved to be a true three-level scoring threat with the ability to stretch the floor from beyond the arc and knock down shots in the midrange. Defensively, she was impactful as well, recording an impressive number of blocks for a guard. What stood out most was how many of those plays came as a weak-side helper, showing both instincts and timing. Nakeyla is a player who deserves to be talked about more often among the best in the state.
