Savannah came into the weekend as the leading scorer on the Nike EYCL circuit for the 17U division. This came as no surprise to me as I have seen her fill it up from all three levels on multiple occasions and know the kind of talent and skill she possesses. Aparicio shot the ball very well from the perimeter making multiple threes in each of the games I saw her play. She was also able to get out on the break in transition and score with both hands several times in each game as well. What impressed me the most with her play was her efficiency with the dribble getting to the basket in the half court. Almost every possession in high school ball, Savannah is initiating and facilitating the offense for her teammates while also putting up a lot of points. I had not seen her play much at all off of the ball and when she did the switch went off because she was looking to score when she got the rock. No ill advised or forced shots, just good basketball with one or two moves and jumper, floater, or finish at the rim. She is an excellent passer with great vision and very good strength which enables her to throw darts all over the court. Seeing her play on the wing was something I did not have on my cards heading into the weekend, but coming out I am glad that she did.

Aparicio has to be one the biggest stock risers in Georgia so far this season. She is averaging 19.3 points per game on 42% shooting according to MaxPreps along with 5.8 rebounds and 5 assists leading her Etowah team to a perfect 9-0 record. Aparicio has stepped up when her team needed her most scoring 30 points against Peachtree Ridge earlier in the season and scoring 31 points in her last game against Cambridge. She is a strong guard who uses her body well attacking the basket and posting up on the block. She is a very good ball handler who will make teams pay if left open on the perimeter as well.

Does a lot well. Strong with the ball. Deceptively shifty with the ball, able to get into the paint and finish with both hands while absorbing contact. Looks to get others involved while still hunting her offense. Often fills out the box score with her activity level.
