About Paityn
Expert Analysis
Mike Benson | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Paityn is an All-Region returner for the Burros and is their most reliable player. Her team can count on her to line up each night and produce on both sides of the court. Her offensive game thrives near the basket and the high post where she is able to use her first-step to get by defenders and finish at the rim. She is good at ducking-in across the lane, receiving the pass, and finishing to her strong hand. She is a tough-nosed player who defends and rebounds. Finally, she gets her teammates involved. She finds open teammates on drives and is able to kick the ball to them for open looks.

The Burro from HCV is averaging 11.4 ppg. She’s the go-to girl inside. She can score out of the post or by grabbing offensive rebounds for putbacks. Olson is all effort. She constantly comes at you. If you don’t box her out she gets the offensive rebound and will score. This year has not started out as consistent as she would like, but it’s going to get better and her numbers are going to go up. Paityn scored 27 vs. Larimore Tuesday night! Those are the kind of games we expect from her. Olson is deadly because she shoots a baby hook that’s almost impossible to block. She never slows down and attacks all the time. The only thing that can slow her down is foul trouble.
