Lainie Douglas I 6’0 Post I 2024 I Kansas Elite Novicoff
Douglas does the little things for her team that may not show up on the stat sheet. Runs the floor well and is always in a position to rebound. Has great footwork around the basket and can also step out for the short jumper. Definitely, a player to watch this summer and for years to come.
Bailey Gilmore I 6’3 Post I 2023 I FBC Nightmares Teal
Long athletic post that moves her feet well. Handles the basketball well in traffic and uses her size to finish around the rim. Can guard on the perimeter at any position. Bailey showed if you clog up the paint she has the ability to hit the high post shot or step out for the triple. A true stretch Forward/Center.
Riley Moreland I 5’11 Post I 2022 I Lady Martin Brothers Select
Moreland displayed her scoring prowess inside and out. Uses her length to shoot over her defenders on the block. Knows how to finish through contact. Can also step out as a stretch four and hit the outside shot. Playmaker.
Irene Kabassbubo I 5’10 Post I 2022 I FBC Nightmares 2022
Kabassbubo showed that it doesn’t matter your size as she was given the task of guarding post players 6’3 and taller. Has the ability to rebound with the best of them and use her quickness to blow by her defenders on the wing. Her signature move is the inside shoulder drop step.
Alyssa Nielsen I 5’11 Post I 2023 I Team Griffin 2023
Nielsen showed why she was one of the most dominant post players this past weekend. High IQ player that knows how to find her spots to score. Uses her body well to create space for easy buckets on the block. A true workhorse that plays both ends of the floor.
Emma Yost I 5’11 Post I 2023 I SD Attack
Yost showed that she can guard inside/out. Used her quickness to get around her defenders in the paint. Has a nice touch around the rim and knows how to get in position to secure the rebound. Runs the floor extremely wells. Does a great job of finding her teammates who are relocating on the perimeter.
