You may recognize names like Iona MacNabb Iona MacNabb 5'7" | PG Richfield | 2028 State MN and Richfield’s lone senior Aneciya Holt Aneciya Holt 5'5" | PG/SG Richfield | 2027 State MN , but one name you need to keep an eye on is Nora Finley Nora Finley 5'8" | SG/SF State MN . The lefty out of Richfield has one of the smoothest and quickest releases I saw all day. She opened the game knocking down three consecutive triples, including one in transition that would drive most coaches crazy, but somehow it just felt right. Finley moves extremely well without the ball, with her hands and feet always ready to fire. I’m also told she has the best handles on the team but just needs a little more confidence to show it off. If that’s the case, combining her ability to light it up from deep with the ability to put it on the deck makes her a real problem for opposing defenses. I know it’s only the preseason, but that jump shot is already in postseason form.

Finley is a patient, methodical guard who plays the game at her own pace. She rarely gets rattled and consistently makes smart decisions with the basketball. While she has averaged around 5 points per game, Finley has begun to show flashes of a more assertive offensive approach. She is quick, athletic and mobile, using those tools to become a disruptive defender who works hard on every possession. Finley still has room to grow offensively, but the foundation is there to get to college ball at some level.

Finley is a patient, methodical guard who plays the game at her own pace. She doesn’t get sped up, making smart decisions and choosing her spots. As Nora grows more assertive offensively, her steady, versatile game should shine. With Diamond Elite this summer, she showed flashes of scoring ability with an 18-point game against SW Fury and 15 against Team Wisconsin. Finley is plenty mobile which shows up on the defensive side of the ball in where she can be a disruptive force.
