2022 Prime Time Nationals 5th Grade Tip Sheet

 

Krush Queens 2029 Pink defeated Victory Elite for the CHAMPIONSHIP while Reign 2029 finished in 3rd place and I caught bits and pieces of those teams yet no pictures. Nevertheless, I saw enough to give you a Tip Sheet on some of the top players from the event 

Avante Hicks (DC Queens Waco 2029) long and athletic is the base, you will see me writing and saying that a lot because I love being repetitive as many never get it but she definitely GETS IT and gets after it. She scores off the dribble with ease and she can drop the long ball, plus she plays the passing lane

Sa'Niya Douglas (Krush Queens 2029 Green) is long and athletic, she scored off the dribble and understood how to set the defender up by creating her shot. That also enabled her to show the jumper and she too played the passing lane

Gabby Archer (Victory Elite) scored well both off the dribble and the pull-up jumper yet her court vision was really good also. She handled the ball under pressure, that's always a plus and she, you guessed it, played the passing lane






Imerii Ingram (BST Academy) I hashtag #sizedontmatter a lot because it doesn't when you can play and she can definitely play. She uses her athleticism well on both ends, scores off the dribble, and even showed the FLOTA and can drop the long ball but her ball-handling and court vision under pressure was solid

Preslee Romero (Reign 2029) understood something very valuable, especially at this stage and that's how to get hers "in the flow". She also did something else I love seeing and that's "played within herself" but her solid defense and scoring off the dribble were nice

Londyn Ramsey (Pro Skills 2029 Nationals) is long and athletic, yep, I love that profile but more importantly, so do college coaches so what are her intangibles? Plays the passing lane, scored off the dribble, and went after rebounds on both ends

Aurianna Walter (Krush Queens Pink 2029) heady basketball player that JUST DID IT for me years ago when I caught her at Cynthia Guillory's event. My friend is no longer with us but this organization has talent throughout and Re Re just goes at you. She showed the pull-up and scored off the dribble but her "on the ball" defense helped create turnovers 

Amiyah Cheatham (Krush Queens Pink 2029) size does matter when you can play and with her frame and agility right now, well her strength as well, her upside is very nice. She rebounded on both ends, ran the floor and showed she could finish
