Each and every time Phenom Hoops gets to report or sees a commitment from a player we have seen over the years, it is always a fantastic day. It is great to see players achieve their goal to play at the next level and it is such a great accomplishment for that player. Here is the latest commitment.
Player: Justice Zimmerman
Class: 2025
Committed to: Western Carolina
What Has Been Said by Lady Phenom:
“Continuing forward, we look at a player who consistently stands out through her production and leadership, Justice Zimmerman. She’s a tough, versatile, high-motor forward prospect with a high IQ and the ability to do everything on the court. Zimmerman scores from all levels, defends multiple positions, and controls the glass as a rebounder. She’s capable of operating in several different roles with relative ease. Zimmerman sets the tone through her effort and unselfishness. Next in her development process is working to become a craftier ball-handler, as it would make her even more difficult for opponents to contain. Coach Goodman on Zimmerman: “Justice is an exciting player to watch but even more exciting to coach. She is a vocal leader on and off the floor. She gives maximum effort on both sides of the ball and dictates the action on the court. She scores from multiple levels and exploits mismatches. She uses her quickness against bigger players and strength against smaller players.” Zimmerman had a strong showing at camp and should be a focal point for NC GBB during her upcoming senior season.”
“There are certain players who stand out as natural leaders, and Zimmerman is certainly applicable to this notion. She’s a strong, high-motor wing/forward who does everything on the court. Zimmerman communicates at all times, willingly makes hustle plays, and fills in the gaps whenever necessary. She finishes around the basket and hits shots along the perimeter, but also looks to set up others whenever possible. Zimmerman utilizes her body well to outwork opponents on the glass and alter shots defensively. Her nonstop energy allows her to shine basically every time she’s on the court.”
“There are several different ways to earn recognition on the basketball court, and Zimmerman does so through her incredible motor, unselfishness, and low-maintenance approach. She’s a strong, physical player who simply battles on both ends of the floor. Zimmerman possesses a nice IQ and overall knack for making plays within the flow of the action. She finishes around the basket, rebounds with consistency, and always makes her presence felt defensively. Add in her communication and willingness to do the little things, and it’s easy to see the value Zimmerman brings to a team.”
“Moving onto a player who stood out through her ability to fill in the gaps on both ends of the floor, Justice Zimmerman. She’s a strong, unselfish forward with a high motor and excellent feel for the game. Zimmerman displayed great passing instincts, reliable perimeter shooting, and a reliable rebounding presence on either side of the ball. She does a little bit of everything on the court and is capable of adapting to team needs whenever necessary. Next in her development process is working to get quicker, as it would make her a more lethal penetrating threat. Coach Lewis on Zimmerman: “Justice is a strong, physical forward. Vocal leader with great communication and overall knowledge of the game. She uses her body well on driving situations and is a good shooter from midrange and beyond the arc. She does all the little things on the court. Uses angles well around the rim. She will need to improve her quickness and footwork (both offensively and defensively).” Zimmerman made a consistent impact during her time at camp and should be a quality contributor for NC GBB.”
