Expert Analysis
Grant McGinnis | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
In her previews of the Freshman Showcase, PGH scout Ally McGinnis identified Nnaji as one of the premier forward prospects to watch. The 6’1 post from Shakopee delivered on that promise. One of the best rim-runners in the freshman class, Nnaji combines excellent length with effortless athleticism and an explosive stride. On Sunday Zion demonstrated her ability to run the floor exceptionally well, rebound aggressively and use her elevation to block and alter shots around the basket. It’s impressive. Offensively, she has a soft touch around the rim and can fill up the basket game after game. She’s also developing a nice midrange game. Nnaji showed she is a skilled passer with a well-rounded, versatile skill set. With her physical tools and continued development, this is a legitimate Division I prospect.

A 6’1 forward with tremendous athleticism and the ability to take over a game, Nnaji is one of the most intriguing prospects in the class. The Shakopee 8th grader runs the floor with ease, excelling as a rim runner and transition scorer. On the defensive end, Zion’s length allows her to disrupt her opponents by getting her hands in passing lanes and altering shots in the paint. With a strong, solidly built frame, smooth elevation, and a developing midrange game, the MN Crossfire standout is sure to make some noise in the coming years.
