Fall Exclusive 2022 

Ava was absolutely on fire from 3-point range throughout the 3 weeks and might have even left scorch marks on the nets. She showed a determination to find her space behind the arc either off the ball and coming off screens or running to the openings however, she also showed she was capable of creating enough space behind the arc off the bounce and pulling up quickly and hitting as the defender continued to move backwards. She also played with impressive energy when it came to the rebounding. She showed no fear in getting inside the paint and fighting with the taller players for tough rebounds and multiple times was able to outrun opposing players to the ball. Her area of opportunity would be to continue to work on adding a shot fake to her skillset. With her outside shooting ability, opponents will come out hard to try and run her off the line and she should use the momentum against them for a chance at an open shot.

Ava showed off really good defensive instincts and good quickness with her hands in coming up with steals. Multiple times, she waited for her matchup to get loose with the ball or ease up and she would pounce in and knock the ball away and come up with the ball. She also moved her feet well in the full-court press defense. She used her speed to beat players to their spots and force them into poor passes or rushed shots. On offense, she showed a reliable jump shot and didn’t allow defenders to force her into poor shot selections. Her area of opportunity would be adding a floater or runner to her game. With her smooth shooting stroke, she has the skills that could give her a lethally accurate floater or running jumper.
