Expert Analysis
Rasheen Johnson | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Good with the ball in her hands, a quick guard who can use her speed and hesitation dribble to get by defenders. Not afraid to drive into the paint where she can shoot the floater or the pull up jumper. She is also good in the pick in roll action and will leave you stuck in your tracks if you make the wrong decision. Good on ball defender on both guard positions can create defensive to offense in a hurry. Good combo guard skills but looks like she should settle into the point guard position for recruiting.

Demars showed her value as a spot-up shooter, getting her shot off quickly on the catch and knocking down threes from the corner, taking advantage of the space given to her. She also attacked open gaps with purpose, using aggressive drives to split defenders and get to the rim and showing the ability to penetrate the paint and find teammates on kickouts. She played within the flow of the offense and made unselfish reads, whether passing to a cutter for a scoring opportunity or handling it in transition and locating an open shooter.

2029 embraced the 3-on-3 format from the opening possession. The sharp-shooting guard thrived in the half court. Her quick release punished late closeouts. Meanwhile, her explosive first step made defenders pay for biting on shot fakes. She also delivered crisp, timely passes that kept teammates involved. As a result, she consistently created quality scoring opportunities.
Defensively, Demars relied on positioning over athleticism. She rarely made mistakes or surrendered easy looks. Instead, she forced difficult shots and hurried decisions. Frustrated ball handlers often gave the ball up early. Ultimately, the half-court game highlighted her basketball IQ and efficiency on both ends.

Zaria is tough to contain because she has the ball on a string and can get wherever she wants on the floor. She shoots the three well, especially out of pick-and-roll action, and does a nice job creating space with step-backs. Zaria attacks the basket with confidence, embraces contact, and finishes through it. She handles pressure well even when defenses send multiple defenders her way.

Is a quick fast off the dribble bucket and smooth with the ball in her hands. Averaged 7 points a game off the bench, Zaria is not afraid to drive through traffic to get a layup. She is a great facilitator when she is at the point guard position. Zaria was a really good contributor last high school season. A good athlete that is one of the true natural scorers in this 2029 class.

Demars is a true facilitator who makes smart decisions and finds the best scoring opportunities for herself and her teammates. She’ll pull up for a three but will also pass and move to get the ball back for a layup. She moves with a purpose and is intentional when she’s in control on offense.

Demars is a dynamic guard who impacts the game with her scoring and playmaking ability. She can knock down shots from the perimeter, pull up for jumpers, and attack the basket while drawing fouls. She also facilitates well, runs the floor in transition, and consistently finds open teammates.

Zaria was on her own between sessions getting in extra shots which shows a lot about her work ethic and desire to get better. She has a nice looking shot with good form and when she extends her follow through she gets some good height on her shot.

A player that is really starting to grow into her body and has made an impact on her team! Consistently displays poise and high basketball IQ, expertly controlling game pace and making intelligent reads under pressure. A player that can play the point or the two guard! Still young but she has good length and is a good athlete. Has a good jump shot and showed that she can be a good three level scorer!

Has grown about 3 inches since the last time I saw her and it looks like she is still growing! Looks like a player that can play the point or the two guard! Still young but she has good length and is a good athlete. Shot the ball really well, has potential to be a good three level scorer!
