C/O 2029 Guard Ally Heaton drew comparisons to Caitlin Clark out the gate. Ally uses her elite handle to maneuver around defenders for points at the rim or drawing help to get her teammates open. She’s great at getting to her shot, whether it be the 3 or the midrange, you can rely on Ally to get to a bucket from anywhere on the court. Ally also has a crafty skillset of step backs, dribble moves, and quickness that make her a nightmare for slower defenders to guard.

C/O 2027 Guard Daija Barrow Is an extremely quick guard with a great handle who can finish strong at the rim as well as facilitate for teammates. Daija plays strong defense and is great with her hands, getting steals in passing lanes and being an aggressive on-ball defender. A key part of DBA’s team and large reason for their success so far this session. Putting Daija anywhere on a full court press leads to a plethora of steal and forced turnovers that Daija can easily take to the rim and convert to offense for her team.

C/O 2028 Guard McKenzie Traverse representing Team Museum’s 16U played at a great pace the entire game, leading her team’s press and pushing the ball in transition. McKenzie isn’t afraid to take contact and get to the rim, using her soft touch to get consistent points at the rim. A highlight of McKenzie’s game is her defense, not afraid to pick up full court, especially in a full court press where she leads traps and forces turnovers where she’ll find teammates in transition to turn good defense into great offense.

C/O 2028 G Nyliana Ani brought sharpshooting and facilitating to the Lady Conquerors win over Team Museum. Nyliana doesn’t need much space in order to make shots. It was apparent that when Nyliana got on the court that she was a threat, defenders were afraid to help off of her knowing that she could shoot at an extremely high level. Nyliana’s catch and shoot is lethal, with a a quick release and high percentage shot, she doesn’t miss much when she’s open.
