Princess has athleticism, size, length, and an all-out motor that immediately grabs your attention. She’s closer to 6 feet and solidified the interior for Wisconsin Blaze Inferno 17U at the PGH Great Lakes Region Finals. Princess moves laterally very well to apply pressure on the perimeter and has great anticipation as a help-side defender in the post. She anticipated a basket cut, rotated quickly, walled up, and forced a turnover. Princess swatted shots away in the paint, secured rebounds with strong hands, and tied up the ball in the high post. She has an explosive first step and drives through gaps with powerful/long strides on her way to the rim, going up strong off two feet.

On the defensive end of the ball, Tomori had some moments on the final day that jumped out immediately. She is long, quick, and not afraid of players who play with force and attack the body. She can contest, alter, and block a ton of shots if needed, but the best thing I noticed came at the end of one of her games. She was having a conversation with the ref about defending shots, staying straight up versus swiping down, and whether she started the conversation or not, she was locked in and taking in the feedback. Prospects like this have a long career. The tools are there, but the coachability is what will translate.
