Expert Analysis
Al Schell | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Ny’jae took home one of the MVP awards and showed why she is one of best guards in her class. She has secured a D1 scholarship with Kennesaw State due to her relentless style on both ends of the court. She brought the heat on defense which is always refreshing to see in an All Star game situation. She led a balanced scoring attack for her team with 10 points and chipped in a couple of steals as well.

Nyjae is a fun player to watch. She’s a ball of non-stop energy on both ends of the court. She’s a complete crime wave on defense, causing havoc and forcing turnovers. She applies tremendous on ball pressure and has quick hands. She scores a bunch of fast break points because of the turnovers she creates, but she’s also dangerous out of their half court offense.

Nyjae plays with a fearless approach and strong confidence on the court. Although listed as a shooting guard, her skill set projects well to the point guard position at the next level. She can effectively run the offense by placing teammates in scoring positions while also having the ability to get to the rim herself. Her strength is in the mid-range game, where her stop-and-pop ability is particularly effective. Defensively, she is physical and capable of guarding positions one through three for the full length of the court.

Nyjae is one of the best two-way players in the area and it all starts on defense. She is a menace on the ball and in passing lanes and routinely turns defense into offense for her team. If she’s not scoring in transition, she is throwing assists to her teammates who are streaking towards the hoop. She’s a game changer and is headed to Kennesaw State.

Nyjae has been on a tear since week one. She’s been scoring at about 16 points per game and has added the three-pointer to her arsenal. She really sets the pace for her team, and it starts on the defensive side. She’s a menace as an on-ball defender and her steals and deflections kick start the Pikesville offense. Her energy is contagious.

Nyjae was one of the best players in the building. At 5’3″ she was able to outrebound players much taller because she had great hustle and anticipation. She showed a nice midrange pull-up with good touch and accuracy. She scored from multiple levels on the court and was effective getting off her shot in traffic.

Nyjae moved up to #38 but she has played her way higher since publishing. If she keeps on her path she will easily be in the top 20 as she penciled in around #12 now. She is a really smart player making good decisions on the floor and she’s touch on both ends. She uses her body well to shield defenders off on drives.
