Lady Thunder Blue rhymes with I SEE YOU and that has nothing to do with one of my favorite NPR shows yet the NPR acronym means something special, NEW PLAYERS RISING and I can always count on my dear friend for putting players I probably would never see in front of me and here are some of them
Kynnedi Heslip (2028) Kynnedi rhymes with energy and she brings plenty of that on both ends of the court. She does a good job applying pressure on the defensive end, she attacks the basket and finishes strongly but her court vision is nice, oh yeah, she plays the passing lane
Aaliyah Childress (2030) not sure if she can sing but I heard several tunes from this #sizedontmatter guard because she can play. I guess her being "feisty" and creating havoc around the ball grabbed my attention first but she also brought "on the ball" heat. She attacked the basket fiercely and scored after contact
Brooke Hopkins and Kate Hopkins (2028) are twins and one of two sets of sisters but these 2 are a couple of inches shy of the magic number, which is 6'0. Their games mirror each other, they're both "long and athletic" which will ALWAYS be the base, they score from the wing, as well as around the basket and they rebound on both ends. Here's the kicker, the midrange looks better each time I see them and since they both play the passing lane, their upside is scary
Victoria Fobbs (2029) and Destiny Fobbs (2030) are the other set of sisters, Victoria showed she could score off the dribble and finish after contact, nice body control played a part in that but both understand positioning and did a good job rebounding as well as playing solid interior defense. They were both playing up meaning they have good upside
Adriana Liscano (2028) understands how to create her shot under pressure and get it off while being defended. Her deceptive first step gives her options to attack, which she does and scores but it also gets the defender off balance for her to knock down the mid to long-range jumper
