showed off her range hitting her shot from deep. She’s very athletic moving well all across the court showing flashes of speed and a nice bounce. She’s tough on defense, too, being able to jump in front of passing lanes coming out of nowhere to grab the steal.

Blackwell is a lights-out shooter. She can also score at the rim, in transition, or from the midrange. If Blackwell gets a good look at the hoop, the basketball has a terrific chance of going in. Blackwell stays shot-ready for Team Curry and her teammates find her with consistency.

Sidney is a very strong ball handler that performed well today at the Holden Classic. I love the way she never appears rattled and always seems to be in control at all times. She was able to knock down some big shots for her team and had a number of trips to the free throw line. I love the way she is able to attack the lane and draw fouls from defenders. She is patient and will not let the defense dictates how she plays. Very strong mid-range game and an overall solid day.

is a high motor player who doesn’t seem to stop moving no matter what kind of challenge she faces. She has been knocking down shots from deep all throughout the spring, and she has good size using that to get inside for some points. She’ll do a little bit of everything for her teams like getting inside for rebounds, and she hustles back on defense protecting the basket on fast breaks. She is definitely a fun player to watch, and more colleges are agreeing with that statement.

is an excellent ball handler seeing the floor well and finding the best course of action to get her team some points. She penetrates the paint and makes the perfect kick, or she takes it all the way herself. She makes some nice adjustments at the rim knowing how to score even with hands in her face.

slides down to the block finding the opening for some points. She does a nice job anticipating passes and causing deflections. She was constantly stripping the ball from opponents even post players on the block. She grabbed a rebound and pushed it all the way to the other end for a solo fast break. She can knock down her shot from deep, too.
