Evaluator: Brandon Clay 

Groot has made big strides in her overall skill set since our first evaluation just over a year ago in Atlanta. She has prototypical forward size at the next level coupled with a versatility that lets her post to score on one position then hit a face up jumper on the very next. Couple that with her academic standing and Groot still has a lot of upside as she makes her way towards the college level.

Evaluator: Brandon Clay

Groot has the size and skill combination to be a consistent factor on both ends of the hardwood. She has a soft touch around the basket coupled with the ability to be a difference maker in the front court on the court rebounding in area. Going forward, Groot’s consistency as an offensive threat will be largely determined by how well she shoots the 3-pointer. Add that to her academic prowess off the court and the tools are there for her to be a multi-faceted option.
