#4. Jordyn Palmer, 6'1 CO2027- 60.9%
Introducing the first Freshman to appear on the leaderboard, Jordyn Palmer plays like she's a graduated senior off to take on the Power 5. She's money around the rim, lights out from the mid-range, and her handle as a 6'1 freshman should not be as polished as it is. Her athleticism is the same way. You just truly would not think she is a freshman after watching her for 30 seconds. Her feel for the game is so advanced, sometimes it looks like she's playing on 0.8x speed. Don't let her lack of 3-point volume think that she's just a back-you-down one move over the shoulder post player. She absolutely plays like a 6'1 point guard. She is a terrific passer, can go left just as well as she can go right, and will gladly take any defender off the dribble. If she gets stuck trying to cross-up a smaller defender, no problem, she'll hit a 15-footer right over them with a really nice shooting form. No doubt that she is the capability to step out and hit a couple (2-5 weekend 1). But her efficiency comes from being able to get any shot that she wants, especially in transition where no one can keep up with her or get up high enough to bother any shot at the rim. She has an array of post moves that involve jump hooks, push floaters, reverses, up-and-unders; she displayed each of these moves already just in the first weekend. Jordyn, combined with her size and athleticism, is one of the most complete players you'll find on the circuit, and she's only just begun her high school career. This percentage may dip a little as she continues to increase shot volume, but do not be surprised if she's above 50% all year. The definition of "get a good shot"
