Really happy she is improving. Sounds like a great kid - seems to be a hard worker and coachable. Runs the floor well as others have mentioned. Also she started so raw that I think her improvement has been that much more noticeable. I'm cautiously optimistic. I'd like to see how she does on the AAU circuit or against better competition. Especially against Div 1 prospect centers.
The reason I say that in part is because - I watched Ice face off against Breya Cunningham in high school. Ice was a year older but both were elite centers. And both players looked really good against each other. Ice was ranked 5, Breya 14. Breya is a starter for Arizona averaging just 7.5 PPG and 5 RPG playing over 20 minutes per game. We've all been front and center for Ice's struggles, and slow but steady improvement.
I'm hopeful while still trying to be realistic. Given how long it takes high school centers to generally "get it" when moving up to college, it's hard to expect much from her year 1. Still, I'm thrilled we landed her, but it remains to be seen if she's more Tina Charles or Piath Gabriel.
