Ashley Martinez Ashley Martinez 5'4" | SG Somerset Silver Palms Academy | 2026 State FL I 5’4 I SG I 2026 I Miami Impact 2025
Martinez put on a clinic from behind the arc on Sunday. In game 1 she went 6-8 from behind the arc. Her quick release and her ability to move without the basketball was the x-factor. When the defense ran her off the 3-point line she showed her ability to hit the pull up jump shot. Martinez finished with a 22-point performance in Game 1.
Kimora Hester I 5’6 I SG I 2025 I Q4 Elite 2025
Hester has one of the quickest first steps that I have seen in a while. A guard that knows how to get to the basket and score at will. Uses her speed to her advantage as she sliced through the defense on Saturday. A left that has a nice float game in the paint.
Mikayla Pittman I 5’2 I PG/SG I 2025 I Nona Basketball Academy 2025
Pittman is the glue that keeps the team together. The floor general that has exceptional handles which allowed her to maneuver through the Miami Impact press. Showed everyone why she wants the ball in her hands. She is also a tough defender that puts the pressure on her opponents from baseline to baseline. When she was pressured, she showed her ability to finish at the rim through contact.
Kennis Gray I 5’6 I SG I Q4 Elite 2025
Gray showed her ability to control the game from the point guard spot. She sees the court well and knows how to throw pinpoint passes to her teammates. Great ballhandling skills which allow her to avoid the trap and slash through the defense. High IQ guard.
Victoria Rodriguez Victoria Rodriguez 5'4" | SG Hagerty | 2025 State FL I 5’4 I PG I 2025 I Nona Basketball Academy 2025
Rodriguez showed her ability to handle the pressure with her crafty ball handling skills. She also showed her ability to use her body to protect the basketball from her defenders. A player that plays well beyond her age and is always looking for ways to create scoring opportunities. Rodriguez and Pittman were a tough duo to trap and defend all weekend.
Ava Jones I 6’1 I C I 2025 I Miami Impact 2025
Jones showed her presence inside early. Always working to get the best position on the block which allows for easy put backs around the rim. Knows how to use her body to pin her defenders and get her shot off on the block. Always moving inside the paint and runs the floor well. Great rebounder that creates extra shot opportunities and put backs for her teammates.
