Expert Analysis
Evan Bell | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Olivia put herself firmly on my radar this spring with MBA UA Future. She has great vision and instincts as the lead guard. Olivia weaves through defenders, absorbs contact, finishes with great dexterity at the rim using both hands, and has another gear when she pushes up the court. Olivia is a threat from beyond the arc and extremely aggressive on the defensive end. Her length and skill as a point guard will be a huge advantage at the high school level.

Olivia is a guard who greatly impressed me from MBA 14U UA Future today. Her confident ball-handling in the open court, ability to change lanes seamlessly, and skill as a slasher stood out. Olivia swiped the ball away in the corner, accelerated down the baseline, and finished with a sweet reverse layup. Her active hands in the passing lanes generated steals, and she got to two feet on drives very effectively to maintain balance against contact. Olivia drained a three in the slot and split the gap for a drive-by layup. One of her highlights happened when she poked the ball out on the perimeter, ripped it away aggressively to secure the steal, then put the pedal down to race towards the basket. Olivia landed on two feet, scored strongly through contact, and completed the three-point play at the line.
