As I finish up the spring circuit coverage this week, tonight I will look at my 2023 2nd-Team all-Circuit from the past few weeks. Tomorrow is the first-team, then we return with coverage from the PGH 2k22 live event coming to Chicago in early July.

Able to defend the 1-5, Tyra <em>(pictured left) </em>is a very versatile player who can do so much on the floor She rebounds well, and offensively she can score from the perimeter. Relocates well and able to from the floor well. Does a good job cutting to the rim, reads and reacts well and can defend.
<strong>Mattie Clanton, Team Firstep 2023</strong>
Defense is the name of her game, and I loved the intensity she brought to the table in her games this spring. She is equally as talented with the ball in her hands as she runs the floor well in transition and finds her teammates. Good passer and makes the right decisions. Outstanding range. <em>(feature photo above)</em>

Loved her entire court game, solid court sense and solid on the boards. She has good handles and moves well with good footwork around the perimeter. Very intense and hard worker, creates havoc with her athleticism. <em>(pictured left)</em>
<strong>Morgan Roberts, Indiana Showcase 2023 Select</strong>
She has a good long athletic frame who can score from all three levels. She has a good perimeter shot and is a consistent midrange scorer. Solid on-ball defender who as I said earlier in the spring, has improved a lot since last spring. She is finishing better around the rim and has added more back-to-the-basket moves.

I have seen her during the high school season since she plays in Southwest Ohio, and her game has improved a lot since the time I saw her. She is a good leader and can see the floor well with the ball in her hands. Can rebound and attack the rim, finishing with either hand. Good basketball IQ, expect a big high school season. <em>(pictured left)</em>
<strong>Abby Pasinos, Michigan Goonies 2023</strong>
Caught my eye with her flashy play, she is smaller guard but she plays big. Fiery and has smooth handles, able to run the offense and create with quick hands Has good range, not afraid to score from the three. She is a good quarterback on the court and runs the show. Good crisp passer.
<strong>Logan Ortega, Kentucky Ice Select 2023</strong>
Saw her a couple of times this year, and in the Gold bracket on Championship Sunday, she sold me on her overall game. Loved the way she was able to see the court and is deadly from behind the arc. Her on-ball defense was intense and she moves well without the ball. Does a good job fighting through the screens on defense snd can put the ball on the floor and makes something happen.
