2029 Standouts -PassThaBall #NXTUpDallas

 

Plenty of new faces in this group as well and let me dub this group the Fab 4. I really enjoyed what they not only brought to the table but what they also didn't leave on the table 

Finley Hein (True Texas Hoops) is a long and athletic guard that does a good job of not only creating her shot but getting it off while being defended, this includes with a hand in her face. She has a deceptive first step which allows her to attack the basket from multiple angles and she sees the floor


Alexa Bibb (Drive Nation) already gets IT as far as running a team and she understands how to set her teammates up for gimmes. She attacks off the dribble and has nice body control, yet in the open court, her change of pace is special. Let me also add she has a nice pull-up jumper, in the set and in transition


Nicole Jones (Arkansas Bears) was one of many players that crossed state lines to show what they had and immediately her handling of the ball showing both the crossover and the HEZ stood out. She attacks with ease, and nice body control and she creates her shot under pressure and drops it from outside


Gracie Ross (TBI Ballstars) was one of the most athletic players at the camp and watching her rebound on one end and go coast to coast a few times to either finish or dish JUST DID IT for me. What she also did was understand how to "create contact" which will be HUGE throughout her career and when you add she has UPS, is explosive off the dribble, and body control, the upside is scary
