Ekezie is a player with all the intangibles to be a top player in the state as a freshman. Once you watch her play it’s hard to believe she is only a freshman. Can score inside the paint and knows how to rebound and score at will. She showed her ability to knock down the 3 ball which made the defense respect her ability to score at all 3 levels. Soft touch at the rim. A player with tremendous upside and will only get better as the year goes on.

Princess is one of the most intriguing frontcourt prospects in the 2030 class because of her combination of size, mobility, and long-term upside. She already plays up two age groups with Essence on the EYBL circuit and has shown the ability to hold her own against older competition. In fact, she currently leads the 16U Essence squad in rebounding, ranks second on the team in scoring, averages more than one block per game, and shoots over 50 percent from the field. Princess moves extremely well for a post prospect and displays strong footwork with multiple back-to-the-basket moves that allow her to score efficiently around the rim. She rebounds with purpose on both ends of the floor, establishes strong position in the paint, and finishes through contact. Her soft hands help her secure tough catches in traffic, and she has also shown the ability to step out and knock down the 10 to 15-foot jumper. When you combine her frame, developing skill set, motor, production, and willingness to do the dirty work, it is easy to see why she possesses some of the highest upside in Florida’s 2030 class.

Princess showed why she’s such an intriguing long-term prospect, making a strong impact while playing up on the 16U level. At 6’2, she brings great size to the frontcourt along with a natural feel for the game, and on Sunday she was a key piece in EGB pulling away—establishing herself inside and showcasing soft touch around the rim. She stayed active on the glass, creating extra opportunities and controlling space in the paint on both ends. Her ability to rise up and hit the mid-range jumper over defenders was very impressive. With her combination of size, developing skill set, and production against older competition, Princess has clear upside and a strong foundation to build on over the next four years in the 2030 class.
