Growing up in a basketball family – both parents are high school coaches, and her brother is an impressive college player – is clearly leaving its mark on Neuendorf’s box of tools. The Hamlin guard understands the game and, perhaps more importantly, understands the value of defense. Like her Heiser AAU teammate Lydia Stemwedel Lydia Stemwedel 5'6" | CG Watertown | 2029 SD , Paxton takes tremendous pride in her assignments and competes with purpose on every possession. She stays active, communicates well, and consistently puts herself in the right position. Offensively, she’s a quality three-point shooter, handles the ball effectively, and distributes with the confidence of a true point guard. There’s an awful lot to like about Neuendorf’s game, but what I appreciated most was her commitment to the less glamorous side of the game. Bottom line: players like Paxton help their teams win.
