USA U18 3x3 Championships

[mrmojack]

I have not seen much of Van Lith prior to this 3x3, but she is impressive, very
quick. Boston is Uconn material along with Bueckers.

Watson playing out of position she's not a post player.......I guess Van Lith may come from the country but she plays like a big city baller............the rest we knew about already..........sign em up!!!!

From what I've seen Watson plays mainly post in high school. I know that's mostly against smaller players but I don't what you'd call her if not a post. A versatile, high-post type player with an inside game.

Hailey Van Lith named tourney MVP.

she's playing post due to the size mismatch in high school but in terms of skills she's a four...............if I'm not mistaken she and Boston played together in international play last summer............at this point there's no way she can handle a powerful inside presence on the block

3 x 3 may be great fun to play and watch, but me I have a hard time evaluating player abilities given the format/clock/whole darn thing. On the ground might be a whole different thing, but on TV that's hard for me.

Which earned her a follow by CD on twitter.

Paige Bueckers, Sam Brunelle, Aliyah Boston, Hailey Van Lith

Might as well call them team UCONN!

 

[CocoHusky]

We 100% need Watson in a upon uniform.

You have to be careful or someone might accuse you of having a "type". Wait! Justine's guy? Makes sense now!

Watson played in the post last summer backing up Boston mostly, they rarely played together.

I wanted Van Lith before this weekend. I want her more now. Geno will make her into a Sue Bird level talent.

you could be right but I definitely remember her playing away from the basket at some point.............she has post moves but she's going to get out muscled by the aircraft carriers.............here's what ESPN says:

Boo Williams Invitational-April 2017: Agile faceup-4 pulls the defense to the arc; quick 1st-step attack, creates mismatches off the dribble, finishes vs. contact; competes on glass, mobile in transition; competes on both ends of the floor; an elite prospect in the class of 2020. (Olson)

Future Stars USA-July 2016: Strong, agile faceup-4 prospect with consistent production on both ends of the floor; active on glass, initiates fast break; consistently finishes plays in traffic; next level impact. (Olson)

hopefully Hailey Van Lith can be magically pried from the grasp of those two Oregon schools

Van Lith strikes me as a potentially better version of Skylar Diggins.

I 100% do have a type. The type of player thats going to do great things in a UCONN uniform and bring us MO championships!
You on board?

We are 100% on the same page. I think we have a very good shot of getting her. Fingers crossed right?

Agreed. I believe Boston and BB are friends( from what I've read on this board anyways). That would be great. If worst came to worst would you live with a Watson for Boston Swap?

 

[meyers7]

Brunelle/Bueckers roll to the finals with 21-8 and 21-9 wins.

They meet team Fudd after they win their semi 20-15.

Finals about to start at the link in the tweet:

Van Lith takes Fudd 1-on-1 and scores off the drive.

Bueckers with a floater.

Burke buries a three.

Boston blocks Fudd on the drive.

Watson strips Bueckers.

Sooo basically, UCONN practice, circa 2022.

Hopefully not. She'd be a great replacement for Ionescu, don't you think?

No!
