Olivia played hard for NWI Select 17U throughout the PGH Great Lakes Region Finals, and her complete impact caught my attention. She split the defense on a hard drive to the basket and scored the contested layup with a nice ball transfer. Olivia jumped a pass for a swipe and score, took a defensive rebound 94 feet for a bucket, swished an open three from the wing, and boxed out using great technique to secure the rebound. She lost her defender up top with a quick crossover and attacked downhill with zero hesitation for two points. Olivia drove down the baseline with a burst to score a strong and-one layup, and her aggressive takes to the basket resulted in free throws. She has the versatility to play multiple positions.

Olivia is a really nice, versatile, intriguing wing prospect who could be a nice fit at a lot of the Midwestern small colleges. She has a couple of older sisters who have played NAIA ball, and she could follow in their footsteps. She has an athletic frame, wiry strength, and she moves reasonably well in all directions. She plays hard, she’s willing to be physical at her size, and she always finds ways to contribute, even if she isn’t scoring. For Griffith this Winter, she averaged 8.8 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 3.7 steals per game.

I also saw her last summer and was impressed with her game, her fundamental skill set has improved and I’m impressed at how poised how she can play the game. Good handles and makes good decisions on the court.
