Lazaria Spearman – FBC Hoopstars Brown – 2022
Spearman has many of the physical gifts desired at the next level along the frontline. She has length, athleticism and mobility. Her play helped propel her team to an opening round win.
Sacha Washington – FBC Hoopstars Brown – 2021
Washington has been a staff favorite of ours since the Coach Hemi Showcase last spring. Her high energy attitude and willingness to clean the glass makes her a very valuable player. Her game continues to progress is a near sure-fire double-double threat each time she hits the floor.
Jordan Heifner – East TN Air – 2020
Heifner has a quick release and accuracy from well beyond the arc. Her ability to stretch the floor opens up space for her teammates as well. East TN Air director Coach Craig Campos is known to love the 3-point bombers and he has another one in Heifner this year.
Andelin Hill – Lady Heat – 2020
Hill was impressive tonight in a win for the Lady Heat. The 6-foot wing showed range and face-up ability. Her physique and athleticism look to translate to the next level.
Lilly Griffith – North Georgia Magic – 2022
Identifying young talent is an important purpose at early spring events like the PSB Spring Showdown. Griffith showed promise tonight for coach Chad Jones’ squad. She has the fundamental base to become a quality player in years to come.
Mackenzie Babb – East TN Air – 2022
Babb, listed at 6-3 in the book, has the length to affect the game on either end of the floor. And she did that well tonight in her team’s opening round game. She has touch and coordination that many big kids at her age lack.
Maggie McNair – DL Impact – 2020
Point guard play is important at every level of play. McNair seems to have a handle on how man the position with confidence. She notched a game high 20 points in a win while controlling the tempo for her team.
Mackenzie Wilburn – East TN Air – 2021
Wilburn has the look of a ball player…and she backed it up with a 26 point night in a win. The lanky armed guard finished effectively in transition while also hitting several jumpers.
