When it comes to basketball, whether it is Boys or Girls, the main purpose of this game is to outscore your opponent and win the game with some type of strategy. We have all misunderstood the phrase, What is the difference between a player who is called a Shooter or a player who is a Scorer. Well, let me explain, a shooter is a player who makes open shots when they are open. A scorer is a player who can get a bucket at any old time and you cannot do anything to stop them from scoring. I have always known the difference, because all of my players are scorers, not one of them has ever been classified as a shooter. They can shoot the ball, but they all have one trait in common, they are all “Just Plain Old Bucket Getters”, now I will introduce you to Some Girls who I would put in that category.
Tehina PaoPao on the Attack
2020, 5’10, SG, San Diego Waves, La Jolla Country Day HS, Tehina PaoPao – Tehina is a walking bucket-getter, she is pretty much unstoppable if you are trying to guard her one-on-one. Her skillset is immaculate and she can score on you in so many ways, it is tough to keep her contained. She shoots the three ball with consistency, her floater game in the paint is good as well, but she can also get to the basket and finish with any type of layup in the books.
Kennedy Lindsey
2020, 5’10, SG, Rancho Elite, Diamond Ranch HS, Kennedy Lindsey – Smooth lefty stroke on this kid, she is a what you call a point forward in my opinion. She is a leader on the floor and if you leave her open, it is cash money from this girl. She shoots the deep ball as well as the midrange and can also finish at the rim with contact. She is one of the areas premier shooters and proved it over and over last season. A shooter with size, anyone can use that type of player on their roster.
Jayda Curry shooting over Ashley Chea
2021, 5’6, PG, West Coast Elite 17UAA, Corona Centennial HS, Jayda Curry – Jayda is a prime bucket-getter, she can score from anywhere on the floor with precision. She is a premiere shooter, most times from about 24 feet or deeper, can swing thru with the ball and get you off the bounce from one dribble. Her floater game is good and her drives to the rim are extraordinary whether it is a regular layup or reverse. She is crafty off the dribble and can finish thru traffic and contact amongst the trees. Straight bucket-getter.
Trinity San Antonio knocking down a shot over Rayah Marshall
2021, 5’9, SG, West Coast Elite 17UAA, Rancho Verde HS, Trinity San Antonio – Trinity is a bucket getter as well, she has the best motor of all of these girls who we identified. Trinity motor never stops working, she can shoot the three with consistency, hit the layup or knock down the midrange in someone face. She is relentless on the floor and most times, she makes a quick move on you and then she is scoring before you can even stop her. Her best attribute on the offensive side is her athleticism for a girl, she is truly one of the most athletic girls on the UAA circuit. She scores at will, try and stop her, you can’t, she just blew by you.
Deaja Simmons
2020, 5’9, SF, Vegas Bulldogs, Centennial HS (NV), Deaja Phillips – Deaja captivated us with her relentless scoring prowess in the game against West Coast Elite. She was the catalyst to the defeat of West Coast Elite on Friday night of the Pacific Showcase matchups. She knocked down threes, she was strong to the basket all of the time and was very instrumental with the midrange shot. Athletic as well, but her true fundamentals showed in this game. Pass fakes, rip thrus, pump fakes are all in her arsenal of skillset. This kid can play, we will be watching her until she graduates next year. She is a monster on the floor, watch out for her, she is not playing with anyone.
