Let me say this, I was overly impressed with this talented young squad because of their intensity, skillset, and BB-IQ, and when you factor in they are 5th and 6th graders, well that speaks volumes. They played all of their games on opening day and they left a lasting impression
Here are the PLAYERS
2029
Tia Robinson is a long and athletic guard, that is showing signs of dazzling with the ball. She scores off the dribble yet creates her shot and drains the jumper, this includes "in transition" and she defends
Legacy Gill created her shot and got it off, with a hand in her face yet she plays within herself and understands how to get hers "in the flow" but she also showed she could handle the ball under pressure
Parker Reed is long and athletic, forgot to mention that is the base, and observing her use a deceptive first step to attack the basket was nice, and so was her playing the passing lane
Rihanna Washington is also long and athletic yet she can rebound and go to coast effortlessly with the ball under pressure. She also does a good job of not only scoring but seeing the floor
Dakari Hunter handled the ball under pressure, and even split defenders a few times but she can attack using either hand and finish along with making tough passes on the money under pressure
Meghan Davis has some scary upside because she's tall, athletic, and goes after the ball off the rim, you can't teach that but she also scored around the rim and did a good job defending inside the paint
McKinley Peterson shows me she has the potential to control the inside. She too is long and athletic, and also goes after everything yet her TIMING to block shots, as well as score around the rim, is nice
Lamoni Davis showed some rugged defense around the basket and her going lateral had me smiling because she could defend outside the paint as well. Good upside, and her shot is fluid around the basket
2030
Abigail Flores falls into that #sizedontmatter category I hashtag because she can play. I enjoyed her "on the ball" defense as well as diving for loose balls yet her court vision is ahead of her years
