2026 Top Performers #SouthwestShowcase pt 2

<ul> <li>More players to watch is always a good thing, yes, I've seen a few multiple times yet always remember I'm looking for PROGRESSION on the court and for the ones I have seen in the past, yeah, I see you've been working</li> </ul> <strong>Bella Davis</strong> Heady guard that sees the floor well, handles the ball under pressure, and can score off the dribble, this includes after contact and she's comfortable running the 1 or playing the 2 because she can knock down shots <strong>Makennah Alexis</strong> Definitely has taken her game up a notch and I think she's more poise under pressure, that's a good thing because she can create her shot and drop it while being defended yet her athleticism on both ends is nice <strong>Kobe Johnson</strong> First look as her name has preceded her so a variety of things stood out, her frame is solid it enables her to finish after contact and she understands how to attack the rim from a variety of angles, Solid defender and rebounder <strong>Marvanisha Norman</strong> Playing with her to the basket when I first saw her years ago to handle the ball in the open court, dropping the jumper, or seeing the floor tells me a lot but she also can score off the dribble, good on the ball defender, and rebounder <strong>Melissa Odom (TN)</strong> 6'3 from Tennesee may rhyme yet there is rhyme to the reason she made the trip. Her college-ready frame sets the stage, nice hands and footwork plus she's aggressive in the paint and under control. Finished well, ran the floor, rebounded on both ends, very good upside <strong>Skylar McCray</strong> Uses her athleticism nicely to set the defender up but her deceptive first step enables her to go by her man with either hand, plus she finishes with either hand, after contact. Good defender, on the ball and understands how to trap <strong>Pfeiffer Greene 2027</strong> Long and athletic will always be the base so watching her attack the basket with a nice first step, finish with contact, staying under control was nice, so was her pull-up jumper which she creates under pressure. Solid defender, baseline to baseline, on the ball <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="340894" first="Draden" last="Moss"]</strong> I already knew she could shoot it, from just about anywhere yet that range is extending, the release is fluid and quick but here's what's really impressive, her ability to not only drop it off the screen but to "catch and shoot" plus her midrange is equally effective, please remember college coaches love big guards that can shoot <strong>Taryn Smith</strong> Attacks the basket with authority and finishes with an exclamation point, that should tell you about how powerful she is yet she also elevates on the pull-up jumper, the set to the "stop and pop" plus she plays the passing lane <strong>Amyah Hall</strong> The progression continues, she's 6'3 and will attract college interest from that alone yet she's more agile around the rim, running the floor better on both ends and finishing around the basket but what I really liked was her improved timing to block, alter and (or) deflect shots <strong>Averi Steele</strong> Steele is the right last name because she can definitely punish around the basket. Nice moves, especially the soft spin either way that enables her to finish  with either hand but she also is dropping the short jumper which is going to make her even more effective as the defender will have to come out yet she can handle the ball and g by them so, pick your poison
