Lizzie Olson – (6’0/F-C/2021)
A strong-built post, Lizzie Olson out of Garretson is a prospect that should garner a lot of attention. Lets get to know her game.
You won’t find many players that are more active on both ends of the court than Lizzie Olson. She should have your attention just as much as the opposing defense gives her. Lizzie routinely commands double and triple teams from her opponents. Lizzie is great at scoring inside and you will see her drawing fouls and getting to the line consistently. Has an array of moves to knife through the defense to get inside points. A very high energy player. A really good athlete that moves very well up-and-down the court.
Lizzie is always fighting for position in the post, both offensively and defensively. She is always working to make herself available to passers while she’s posting up. She works nearly every possession to get a post touch.
Has a soft shooting touch and possesses a nice turn-and-fade shot. She’s not afraid to shoot the mid-range jumper either.
Defensively, she seems like she is aware and alert as to what’s going on and where the ball is; always knowing ball-and-man. Has a natural, quick reaction to the ball and is always in man-to-ball positioning. Great post defense technique and positioning from all angles, continually getting deflections and steals from passes in the post. Boxes out every time and extends up high for rebounds. She shows the pure definition of attacking the ball when it’s up in the air.
She can even handle the ball and push it coast-to-coast quickly getting easy buckets or drawing a foul. She showed that she can make a spin move to create separation as well.
Lizzie Olson is definitely an exciting prospect that many should be aware of.
