I never met Nate Parham however we started talking online during the Texas A&M run last season and it's always refreshing to chat with someone who truly understands not only basketball but breaking down the little things. He did a story on two of the best players in the country, Moriah Jefferson and Alexis Jones, both from Texas and both with bright futures ahead at the next level

Both have the "it" factor I look at in guards, well point guards to be more specific. You have those who can basically run your offense while protecting the ball, those who are often referred to as the "Iverson" types which shoot first pass later but I've always been impressed with those who could not only take over games but make their teammates better just by being on the floor. Jones proved just that while playing for her dad in club ball the past two seasons, in fact summer before last, the Lady Cardinals were giving some of the heavy hitters all they could handle.
While she was playing on one of the US teams this summer her club team was only average showing what a difference one player of her caliber could actually make. Jefferson on the other hand did the same thing with her home school team, THESA, who competed with some of the top programs in the state and often came away victorious. Although I give the edge to Jones as being the better of the two, Jefferson has kept adding things to her game and over the past summer with the #1 club team, DFW T-Jack, she actually put that star studded team on her back several times resulting in victories
You never know how this stuff will turn out at the next level as players games are changed to fit different systems however these young ladies have truly left a lasting impression with me as being two of the best players I have ever seen
