The Lady Top 80 was off the charts the other week bringing some of the best talent from around the region all under one building. Several players really introduced themselves on the big stage of Lady Phenom, but one player who didn’t need any introduction with us was 2027 Jordan Speller.
A player that we have watched grow and develop overall as a prospect for several years participated in the camp and quickly proved that she was one (if not the) of the best guards in the state and why she is nationally recognized. You could see how she has developed and her understanding of the game at an early age, and she has only added to her game overall. It is why schools like North Carolina and others have already offered her early on. Speller is a natural playmaker on the court, showing her quickness, shiftiness, and playmaking ability when the ball is in her hands. She is off the charts in her ability to create for herself, attacking downhill, creating space, and being a true three-level scorer. Speller just has a natural feel with the ball in her hands, but also is electric on the court; she simply can amaze you with her skill set and feel, as well as her offensive capabilities. She had a tremendous season last year and I fully expect that to continue, as more high-major programs get involved.
Lady Top 80 Evaluation:
“Next, we look at a player who has established herself as a nationally recognized talent, Jordan Speller. She’s a smart, crafty, all-around guard prospect with the vision, athleticism, and scoring polish to dominate a game. Next in her development process is working on playing with a consistent motor, as it would make her a more complete player. Coach Lewis on Speller: “It’s easy to see why Jordan Speller is one of the top point guards in the country and a priority for several high major programs. The lefty guard earned MVP honors at the Lady Top 80. Speller is a quick, shifty guard who has the ball on a string and puts constant pressure on opponents with her ability to create paint touches. She is able to weave into the heart of the defense where she is able to finish in a variety of ways at the end of drives, despite her size, and also routinely makes quality reads finding her open teammates. She also showcased the ability to knock down shots from behind the arc, which makes her even more difficult to stay in front of. More importantly the team needed big plays in crucial moments, Speller did not shy away from the spotlight and came through in key moments. She thrived during those key moments. The next phase in her development will be to become even more efficient by doing more with less, understanding that she’s able to beat her opponents in less dribbles. This will prevent the defense from having a chance to load up to her, which will in turn make her tougher to contain.” Speller was arguably the top player on display and should continue to turn heads over the coming years.”
