Kiyomi is elite in every category you can think of for a ball player. Her handle and scoring ability are jaw dropping. When I watch her play I get mad when she passes the ball because it feels like she can score any time she wants to. She is holding offers from virtually every major college in the country and has had them for a long time. Do yourself a favor and google some of her highlights if you have not seen her.
Another big time baller with a fantastic handle and the ability to get buckets at will. She has blazing speed and was probably the best guard defender I saw all summer. She represented the United States at the FIBA U17 Women’s Basketball World Cup and recently dropped her final six list with Notre Dame, Standford, Duke, Central Florida, Ohio State and Michigan making the cut.
Aoibhe has signed with Boston University and she will step right into the rotation. She is a true pass first point guard that knows how to run an offense, but she can also score when needed. She plays with great pace and energy and has excellent vision. She delivers crisp and accurate passes where her teammates are able to take advantage. She’s an exceptional athlete and plays solid defense.
Kymora has the full package that you would expect a nationally ranked point guard to have, but it’s her jumper for me. Her speed and ball handling put defenders on skates, and then she just launches a long bomb from anywhere on the court and usually drains it. She demoralizes defenders because her step back mid-range is just as dangerous as her three- ball, and she can get to the rim and finish as well. She is one fun player to watch.
It’s something about a smooth lefty that keeps me engaged while watching some bump. Mary’s pull up jumper and hang time around the basket keep defenders off balance and guessing, and I’m here for all of that action. She has tremendous footwork and her recovery speed helps her defend at a high level. She looks to set the table for her teammates first but can definitely take over a game and score if necessary.
