Expert Analysis
Avi Burmenko | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Tatyanna does a good job getting to the free throw line by drawing contact around the basket and converting those chances. She plays with patience when handling the ball and does not allow defensive pressure to speed her up. She hustles after loose balls to secure 50/50 possessions. When attacking the basket she shows the ability to finish going either direction, including confidently with her weak hand.

#19 – As a key contributor for the 30-3 Group 4 State Champion Bayonne Bees, Tatyanna made plays wherever she was needed. Her development was on full display this summer playing up for the NJ Raptors. She sticks out as a defender. There are not enough multiple effort defenders out there but, Tatyanna is one of them as you rarely see her take a possession off on the defensive end. When her mark gives up the ball, she is waiting in passing lanes for the ball to come back her way and when it does, she is off in transition. This is where Tatyanna’s best offensive skills are shown off in my opinion. She can push tempo, attack the paint and finish inside with confidence. With 6 of their top 7 scorers returning this season, Tatyanna and the Bees will be thinking about a repeat, and they will be fun to watch again.

Where teammate Lauren Gentile Lauren Gentile 5'6" | PG Hudson Catholic | 2025 State NJ plays like the offensive floor general for the NJ Raptors 2025 E40 squad, Tatyanna is clearly the defensive floor general for this squad. She plays very good on the ball defense but her off the ball defense showed that she is thinking like a leader. She was watching plays develop and thinking a pass ahead which led to Tatyanna getting a lot of steals. It’s no surprise she averaged just under 2 spg as a freshman for a Bayonne HS team that will bring back 6 of its top 7 scorers from last year’s Group 4 State Championship squad. She pushes the ball in transition and is a crafty finisher in the paint. When on the wing she crashes the boards hard when shots go up and is not afraid to rebound amongst the big trees. Tatyanna’s overall production should jump in her sophomore year.

An excellent perimeter defender, Tatyanna will go for the steal, snatch it & speed down the court and convert for 2. She is a lightning fast guard who is tough to keep up with.
