2023 Stock Rising Forwards

Checkout my scouting reports and analysis on some of the top performers from the 2023 forward class who have made a real name for themselves over the last few months! Look for these ladies to keep their stocks moving up as we dive deeper into the live period! <strong><span class="pn-player-link"><span class="name-pointer">[player_tooltip player_id="158872" first="Nicolette" last="Polocheck"]</span> <span class="info-box"> <a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/nicolette-polocheck/"> <span class="player-img"><img class=" lazyloaded" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/06/20200628_112343-scaled-150x150.jpg" data-src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/06/20200628_112343-scaled-150x150.jpg" /></span>  </a></span></span></strong> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">2024* 5'11 Memorial High School, TX (Just Play Elite 2023- Gold)</span> Nicolette is a high level player who is showing off her ability to dominate on the perimeter is just as good as her ability to dominate in the paint. I was very impressed by her all around nature to her game, time after time she made the right reads and created open looks for her teammates by playing off the wings. When she got matched up with a smaller opponent downlow, she showed off the ease in which she scored with her back to the basket. Polocheck was one of the best players to step on the court, even though she did so in limited time! She is developing a handle and an ability to affect the game from the outside and attack her opponent off the bounce. This is one prospect everyone needs to have an eye on as she continues to develop her game! <strong>Aalayah Wright </strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">2023 6'1 (Homeschool, [program_tooltip program_id='715647' first='Hoop' last='Lovers'] 2023)</span> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-421976 lazyloaded" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/04/68119D79-A102-46BD-B1FE-4647C4422D57-228x300.jpeg" sizes="(max-width: 228px) 100vw, 228px" srcset="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/04/68119D79-A102-46BD-B1FE-4647C4422D57-228x300.jpeg 228w, https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/04/68119D79-A102-46BD-B1FE-4647C4422D57-780x1024.jpeg 780w, https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/04/68119D79-A102-46BD-B1FE-4647C4422D57-768x1009.jpeg 768w, https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/04/68119D79-A102-46BD-B1FE-4647C4422D57-600x788.jpeg 600w, https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/04/68119D79-A102-46BD-B1FE-4647C4422D57.jpeg 1116w" alt="" width="228" height="300" data-src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/04/68119D79-A102-46BD-B1FE-4647C4422D57-228x300.jpeg" data-srcset="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/04/68119D79-A102-46BD-B1FE-4647C4422D57-228x300.jpeg 228w, https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/04/68119D79-A102-46BD-B1FE-4647C4422D57-780x1024.jpeg 780w, https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/04/68119D79-A102-46BD-B1FE-4647C4422D57-768x1009.jpeg 768w, https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/04/68119D79-A102-46BD-B1FE-4647C4422D57-600x788.jpeg 600w, https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/04/68119D79-A102-46BD-B1FE-4647C4422D57.jpeg 1116w" /> Aalayah is a high level forward with smooth footwork and patience with her back to the basket. She has high level moves in the post and constantly manipulated her defenders with up fakes. Her consistency in the post truly stood out and she worked hard to front her defender for easy opportunities. I would like to see her work on her defensive awareness and work on hustling back while staying focused on the opposing fast break. At times she was a bit lost on where her defensive assignment should be while getting back on defense. <div class="article-content"> <strong>Cieara Dinwiddie </strong>2022 5'11 Porter High School, TX (Lady Hustle 2023 National) Cieara was one of the most polished players in attendance, the lanky stretch forward showed off an ability to score from the outside as well as dominate smaller competition on the block. I was very impressed with her shot making ability off the catch, she is a consistent trailer option with an ability to punish the defense anytime she is given room to shoot. I was most impressed with the energy she displayed on the defensive end of the floor, she routinely came away with some impressive blocks after jumping multiple times. What I loved the most of her game however was the positive energy she plays the game with. Whether she is on the court or the bench, she is always engaged and cheering on her teammates while keeping their heads up when they make a mistake. I loved how engaged she was with everything that was happening on the floor. This is one unsigned senior who needs to be on your radar coaches! </div> <strong>Mya Wilson </strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">2023 5'11 Stephenville High School, TX (Texas Platinum 2023 Bates)</span> Mya is a good post defender who knows how to use her size to her advantage on the interior, but has the ability to handle the ball and play outside in. She is a strong prospect with a knack for taking away shot opportunities in the paint. She is great at staying vertical to deter shots at the rim, as well as using that length to defend on the perimeter when necessary
