Players from all over the country came out to give their all for their team in hopes to make it to the final big game. Here are a handful of players that stood out to me during the games.
2023 5’8” SG #2 Kimmya Hicks (Team Maryland Stars 16u Gold)
Kimmya is a lengthy guard that is confident with a little bit of swagger. She can see the floor and break the tough press. Quick handles that help her get to the basket or cross for the gimme pull-up. Makes an effort to block out on both ends of the floor and push hard once the rebound is secured. Hicks plays hard on defense and does whatever she can to make that happen.
2023 6’0” SF #3 Sunaja Agra (Minnesota Metro Stars 17u 3SSB)
Big-time finisher with high Division 1 potential. Agra absolutely took over in the Adidas 3SSB final four-game to secure her team a spot in the 17u Championship game. This is the type of player that completely dominates when she is on the court. Extremely versatile player that will try to out-hustle the other team to make the play. Confident when the ball is in her hands. Finishes and rebounds high. Keep your eyes out for this kid.
2023 5’6” SG #5 Wynter Beck (Banshees Marsh)
Wynter is playing a year up and is still a standout above the rest when I watch her play. She can play multiple positions, including the backup point guard when necessary. Finds a way to get to the hole through traffic and can go up strong making sure to get the foul call. Dives for loose balls and works extra hard on defense to turn the other team over. Takes care of it and makes good decisions when the ball is in her hands.
2023 5’9” SG #23 Amourie Porter (Team Maryland Stars 16u Gold)
Porter is an aggressive player that hustles every second she is on the floor. I saw her dive and fly into her bench and the stands all within five or so minutes of each other. This girl is a HUSTLER, there is no other way to put it. She doesn’t seem to have anything that is off-limits in her game. Amourie can shoot, drive and handle the ball well enough to find the open teammate for the assist. All around solid player.
2023 5’7” PG #34 Molly Stock (Always 100 ’23)
Solid point guard with quick handles and the ability to dribble out of traffic during a full-court press. Stock is a shooter from anywhere on the floor and can knock down the contested three-ball. Uses her shot to her advantage so she can drive to the basket when the other team gets out of position to try and get the block. She talks and leads her team throughout the entire game.
