I felt Padrmic worked her way through a high school season alongside experienced, solid upperclassmen. She was a very different player from when I first saw her at the second iteration of the Kettle Moraine Thanksgiving event, and from when I saw her play against Mukwonago late in the season. She’s a rangey wing who can do a little of everything and has the physical tools to impact the game on both ends of the floor.

Sofija is already approaching 6’0″, and she’s developed a very impressive skillset to go with her size. She’s got a nice stroke, and stays confident shooting from deep, even after a couple of misses.

In the second half of one of her games, she had a really impressive and-1 conversion late in the first half. Sofija has the capacity to take strong drives to the rim and convert in traffic. She’s good with her hands, and has developed the footwork to be elusive when she has the ball in her hands. Sofija herself says that the best aspect of her game is getting to the rim and drawing contact.

And she’s already developed the size to be a defensive disruptor-getting her hands on a lot of tipped balls and deflected shots.

The Oak Creek wing had a productive first season of basketball with the Knights. Paldrmic would play a role on a team with established talent and would find a way to express herself within that role. She is a confident player who doesn’t hesitate with the ball in her hands, and she showed she could be a difference-maker against older players at the high school level. I’m excited to see what she can do in a setting where she will have a more prominent role.
