Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 2221697, member: 6620"] Thanks for posting this. Switching rating services but not people, I was on Prospects Nation and read saw their thumbnail sketches of each of the U16 players. Kylee Watson and Paige Bueckers are both, of course, on that team and I found the players "they compare with" to be interesting. I've cut and pasted those two below and put a link into the article. [URL="https://prospectsnation.com/story/meet-usa-basketballs-u16-team"]Meet USA Basketball's U16 Team | Prospects Nation[/URL] [SIZE=5][B]Kylee Watson (Linwood, N.J.), Mainland Regional – 2020[/B][/SIZE] Watson has all the size to play in the paint but also the ability to get up and down in transition. She matches the European mold of a mobile post as well as anyone on the roster. She has all the tools to be a major contributor. COMPARISON: [COLOR=#0000ff]Natalie Achonwa (Notre Dame/WNBA) [/COLOR] [SIZE=5][COLOR=#000000][B]Paige Bueckers (Eden Prairie, Minn.), Hopkins – 2020[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE] [COLOR=#000000]To have a 5-11 guard that can play the point or slide off the ball and still be effective is huge. Bueckers has all the shift and vision to create for her teammates but she has the killer instinct to score it when she has to. COMPARISON: [/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff] Lexie Brown (Duke)[/COLOR] [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 255)] Would be interested in other BYer's thoughts on these two comparisons and other U16 team members. [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]I've only seen highlight clips of Watson so it's a bit hard to gauge how she compares to Ace (Achonwa), who drifted seamlessly from high to low post. Her strength to me was her overall approach to the game and ability to take what the other team gave. BTW, she's having a good season off the bench so far for Indiana...[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
