Iva Drobjnak 5’7 2020 G (AZ Select 17u GUAA)
Iva Drobjnak makes some really impressive plays/passes. She always knows where the next pass needs to go and has elite court vision. She excels at collapsing the defense and kicking it out to open teammates. Really impressed by her overall play making ability, she makes all of her teammate that much better.
Trayanna Crisp 5’7 2022 G (AZ Select 16u GUAA)
Trayanna Crisp makes a ton of plays either getting another teammate open or scoring the ball herself. She has crafty handles and really good size that allows her to get into the paint at will. Once she is in the paint, she makes the right reads whether to pass to a teammate or take the lay up herself.
Lexi McNabb 5’7 2022 G (AZ Select 16u GUAA)
Lexi McNabb could be a very special player. She is exceptional at getting into the lane and finishing. She has a really solid floater and finishes very well at the basket. She is also really good at pushing the ball up the court in a hurry due to her speed and handles.
Sierra Cherwinski 5’5 2023 G (AZ Select 15u GUAA)
Sierra looked like a really seasoned high school player despite being an 8th grader. She understands how to swing the ball quickly to create openings and gaps. She did a really good job of working the ball to beat their opponents zone. Really liked her maturity and decision making ability. She made her shots when they were available and always made the right pass.
Dominque Nesland 5’7 2024 G (AZ Select 15u GUAA)
Nesland is a lot like Cherwinski in their decision making ability and understanding of the game. Even more impressive is that Nesland is a 7th grader. She has a really good understanding and feel for the game. Much like Cherwinski, she swung the ball, made the right passes, and knocked down shots when they were presented to her. They make up a pretty solid backcourt.
