I saw Sidney briefly during June, so it was good to see her again at length this past weekend. Floyd Central has had a nice run of sizeable prospects the last few years, and she just adds to that. She has good length, nice strength, and she’ll get out and run the floor with effort. She even has a little bounce in her. She is probably most comfortable in the mid-post, where she can shoot or drive it, but she does her share of posting inside, and she can drive it from the perimeter. Defensively, she is active inside and out, she can box out or pursue rebounds, and she can alter shots as well. She’s definitely intriguing.

I have not seen Sidney Standiford or the Indiana Prospects compete over the last couple of seasons but I’m excited to see what they put together this weekend around the city. Standiford comes in as a 6’0 Forward. She has better than average coordination for her size, she has balanced coordination with her feet, and she has a soft touch near the rim when the ball is in her possession. It looks like during High School season that Standiford competed with won most of their games and they have a lot of size while doing so. I’m hoping to see some of that translate to the AAU scene this weekend. This group and the player have all the ability do to so. Now it’s just about making it happen.
