Expert Analysis
BJ Batson | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Mills scored the ball in just about every way possible against the long and athletic defense of Duval Elite . She was in constant motion throughout the game off the ball running defenders ragged and when she did catch the ball her ability to slash and cut to the basket was very impressive. Shelbie is an excellent shooter from deep and she did that as well as she normally does knocking down multiple shots coming off down screens and off the bounce. One play in particular was extremely impressive as she jabbed left, drove right with the ball and hit a one handed floater near the baseline over a much taller defender with a hand in her face. She also through a 3/4 quarter court dart off the balance with one hand that hit Kinner in stride for a beautiful And One play in transition.

Read EvaluationSam Duren | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Lead guard with some juice off the dribble. Her strong crossover sets up drives or creates plenty of space to pull up from deep. Looked to be a bit of a gunner, with extreme confidence in her scoring abilities. Having ideal short term memory to keep shooting. Very touch match up for opposing guards. Speed and shooting, it’s a dangerous combo.

I can’t name many athletes that are playing better basketball than Mills! Shelbie continues to shoot the ball at an extremely high clip. She dominated the championship game at the roses drilling in 7 long balls. The fact that she shot 7-8 from 3 point range is a testament to the time that she puts in! Mills holds offers to play at the next level. She recently picked up one from UVA Wise, & she will continue to earn more!

Shelbie brought relentless energy on the defensive end, applying great ball pressure and playing excellent on-ball defense. She made great use of ball screens, confidently knocked down an elbow jumper, and showed her court-vision with a pinpoint bounce pass that led to an easy bucket. (Photo Above #14)

Mills is a pure shooter, knocking down 3’s from everywhere! I was losing track with how many she was making! Such smooth mechanics, and she changes the momentum of the game with her uptempo pace! Great handles!

Shelbie did a good job getting ahead of the defense and had several transition layups throughout the game. She shot the ball with confidence and didn’t hesitate to let it fly when she had an open look from deep. She provided the spark her team needed on offense and I like how fearless she is as a scorer.
Stats: Game-high 23 points, 1 steal, went 8/9 from the FT line

Shelbie was very impressive with her ability to stop and pop from distance. Mills knocked down several threes over the course of the day but she got hot in one stretch and was scorching the nets in 5 on 5. Obviously very skilled, Mills makes up for her smaller size with tight ball handling and the ability to knock down shots with a quick release.
