#5 Aijah Manning (2025) Bouncenation Showtime
A skilled big guard with length and a solid frame who plays both ends of the court. She sees the floor well, and is great at pushing the ball in transition. She has the whole package.

Strong off guard with a smooth shot from the outside and a fierce step-back shot to create separation, which you need good footwork to do. She is also a very aggressive defender and always shows how athletic she is.

Burr has a solid frame and knows how to use it, she seals off the defender and establishes her position in the paint to score with ease. She stays leveled up to avoid fouls, gets the ball out for quick outlets, moves her feet well, and knows how to play with body control. Keep watch on this player as she will grow.
A lefty with a silky touch around the basket. Daleigha uses her long arms well while picking the pockets of opposing ball handlers. She does a good job of pushing the tempo on the break with the ball in her hands. She uses good vision as a passer and displays a solid ability to handle the ball.
Olivia has a great shooting stroke and will knock down shots when left uncontested. She shows the ability to handle the ball reliably in the half court. She plays unselfishly and is willing to make the extra pass to her teammate.
Israelle is a speedy point guard that’ll run the show for her team on offense. She gets down the floor fast with the ball in her hands while playing under control. Even while undersized she showcased the balance needed to finish strong in traffic and through contact. She moves her feet well while defending out on the perimeter and does a good job of using active hands to come up with steals.
Naomi is quick off her feet and has good timing as a shot blocker. She has a lanky frame and runs the floor athletically. She rebounds the ball with a high motor and battles hard for second chance opportunities.
Avery is very skilled for her size. She has a nice looking jumper and can score on all three levels of the floor. She makes smart decisions with the ball in her hands and is a very reliable ball handler. She can create good looks for herself effectively off of the dribble. She has the length to deflect shots at the rim and the foot speed to close out to shooters quickly on the perimeter.
As a young guard, sometimes you shy away and play differently in an atmosphere like this, but she played as if she was older. She hit the passing lanes consistently, scores well off the dribble and made a lot of hustle plays that you don’t see at this age.
