We watched the 17s, 16s and some 15s to give us a good feel for what type of talent was at the event, I will tell you, there are some very good young talent being displayed by teams in this event and I was really impressed.
Lexi Mercado – #25 – Lexis is a very good player, she showed us she was a consistent three point shooter off the bounce. She handled the ball well and was not afraid to handle in heavy traffic, which allows her team to be able to setup anything they need to score. She is a capable defender on and off the ball, but one thing I know is that she is a good rebounder at her position. She is a definite team leader and she showed it by rallying her team back into a game they were losing, was great to see it develop and work out for her team.
Malaiyah Paulk – #34 – Young big that is learning the game and is able to run the floor and get to the block, blocked shots and rebound are her forte. She will develop into a good big as she progresses in the game, but she has a lot of good attributes that will allow for her to make those strides in her game. We like her confidence on the floor and how she play hard on each and every possession.
Shirley Freeman – #23 – Slender guard type that has a nice game on her, she was skilled with getting thru traffic handling the ball and was an agile driver to the rim to finish. She shot the ball at the midrange level and also used the glass when she had to. She reminds me of an old time fundamental player and I mean that as a compliment. She does what the old man in the park would do to you when you guarded him, we all know what that means, she has those attributes.
