Crafty Shotmakers: Preseason Preview

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sienna Siskowski - Roosevelt - 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Siskowski is an espeically craft finisher around the rim due to her high usage of the pivot foot. The incoming junior guard sought out contact as a driver, posting high-level footwork from step throughs and spin moves coming off the pivot foot. Siskowski showed she could get shots to fall when going through contact, contributing the majority of those shots with the right hand. Coming off drives, the guard is capable hitting cutters or open teammates on the weak side, typically through right hand passes. On the defensive end, the guard looks to make the most of her small frame compared to forwards. She played a crucial role taking charges against bigger opponents and going up to block shots versus guards. Siskowski is currently unranked, although she will have a key season ahead of her.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='145424' first='Kenlee' last='Durrill'] - Flatirons Academy - 2023</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"right","id":442742,"width":245,"height":163,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/06/Kenlee-Durrill1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-442742" width="245" height="163"/></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Durrill is a pure point guard who controls the pace in every aspect of the game. At roughly 5'10, the incoming senior has stayed consistent as a shooter both off the catch and bounce. Durrill proved to be equally effective scoring the ball through contests, a testament to her work ethic and underlying confidence. While she brings notable shooting gravity with or without the ball, Durrill does well luring defenders out of position to create passing lanes. Whether she is going for the simple bounce pass to a dunker or a skip pass to a shooter, Durrill is spot on with her playmaking vision. Coming in as the top point guard for the 2023 class and 4th overall prospect, she will have a key role at Flatirons academy this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='495892' first='Maddie' last='Moyers'] - Roosevelt - 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":504487,"width":242,"height":161,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/09/539-Maddie-Moyers.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-504487" width="242" height="161"/></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The incoming junior shooting guard will be a key floor spacer at Roosevelt along with room to grow as a downhill scoring threat. Standing right around 5'11, Moyers has an especially quick shot off the catch. She is depenable relocating to the corners with pace and getting off the shot before the defender has time to react. Moyers proved to be just as effective moving off-ball around the rim, seeking out multiple scoring opportunities from baseline cuts. Another area of intrigue comes from her assertiveness as a passer during fast break situations, where she is adept hitting teammates through tight pockets. While Moyers is currently unranked, one area of worth monitoring is her scoring gravity getting downhill.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='495903' first='Milana' last='Rowe'] - Resurrection Christian - 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"right","id":504434,"width":245,"height":163,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2022/09/127-Milana-Rowe.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-504434" width="245" height="163"/></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rowe brings a unique style of play for an excellent mid-range threat at the wing position. Standing right around 5'9, Rowe has one of the better floaters in the class, given the high arc. She proved to be capable stepping into such shots off one leg, showcasing improved balance. One such area of intrigue is her shooting upside, given the high arc and consistent ball rotation from those shot attempts. Rowe is dependable defending the interior, going straight up on contests without fouling. Seeing her responsibilities as a ballhandler and playmaker at Resurrection Christian will play a key role for her this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
