The event featured some of the top local AAU clubs with some up and coming talent. I was able to attend the event on the final day, Sunday June 19 and here’s a look at some of the top standouts that I saw.
1. Autumn Hill – Marlborough 2023
Hill stood out mostly for her play on the defensive end. She’s good in the paint, she does a good job fronting the offensive player and denying the entry pass. She has good size/height and uses it well to be a rim/paint protector. She positions herself well for rebounds. Sets good screens. Offensively, she has the tools there, just needs to refine her game a little bit and demand the ball a little more in the post where she can get good position.
2. Quinsey Bryan – Cal Storm Team Taurasi 15
This was my second time seeing Bryan play in the past couple of weeks and this time she did a bit more scoring than before. When I first saw her she stood out for her playmaking ability as a big guard and this time she showed off her slashing game getting to the rim and finishing through contact. She does a good job stepping into her shot off the dribble in the midrange. Consistent shooter from three-point range. She pushes the ball well in transition and finds teammates.
3. Jaida Sanders – Etiwanda 2024
Sanders was a solid wing who looked comfortable putting the ball on the floor. She gets to the rim well and she can draw contact and get herself to the free-throw line. She handles the ball well for a wing and can bring the ball up court. She can play in the mid-post a bit and has good footwork when looking to score. Sets solid screens. Good rebounder on the offensive end getting second shot opportunities.
4. Sydney Douglas – Cal Storm Team Tarausi 15U
This was also my second time seeing Douglas play in the last couple weeks and she has some solid upside. She has good size and can play multiple positions. In some lineups she is a wing and has a size advantage over the defense. In other lineups she can play up and space the floor with her outside shooting as four/five. She does a good job protecting the paint defensively and she secures defensive rebounds with her positioning/boxing out.
