She’s a smart, tough point guard prospect who can run the offense or play without the ball. Hernandez is a reliable playmaker and finisher who can knock down jumpers along the perimeter. She utilizes her quickness and instincts very well to mirror opposing ball-handlers defensively. Hernandez forces turnovers and rebounds effectively for her size/position. She regularly made her presence felt on both ends of the floor. Next in her development process is working to get stronger, as it would make her a more physical defender. Coach Baker on Hernandez: “Isabella is very coachable and has a high basketball IQ. She can set up teammates in various ways by driving and kicking. She is super-quick and has quick hands defensively. Love her defensive pressure and intensity. Shoots off the dribble and can knock down three-point shots. Really an excellent creator of her own shot as well.” Hernandez made a quality impact at camp and will be a key piece for Jacksonville over the coming years.
#5: 5’3 ’28 Avery Detenber (Providence)
Next, we look at a player who made a lasting impression with her knockdown shooting prowess, Avery Detenber. She’s a scrappy, unselfish guard prospect who thrives as a shooting threat from midrange and beyond the arc. Detenber is capable of attacking the occasional closeout and making decisions with the ball in her hands, but is at her best in spot-up situations. She works well without the flow of the team structure, makes hustle plays, and moves effectively as a cutter. Detenber offers terrific effort defensively. Next in her development process is working to get quicker, as it would make her a more lethal penetrator. Coach Baker on Detenber: “Avery is a lefty with a quick three-point trigger. Sees the floor really well and moves properly without the ball around the perimeter to find her shot. Attacks strong to the basket.” Detenber took advantage of her opportunities throughout camp and should be able to carve out a meaningful role sooner than later for Providence.

Coach Baker on Dawkins: “Kaylan is an aggressive on-ball defender who hustles all over the floor. She has a great midrange jumper and the ability to finish at the basket.” Dawkins proved to be an asset at camp and should be a leader for Blacksburg during her upcoming senior season.

Next in her development process is working on getting quicker, as it would make her an even better on-ball defender. Coach Baker on Moody: “Eden moves really well without the ball. Handles the ball well and works hard on defense. She can shoot the three-pointer from deep, pull up effectively from midrange, or get downhill and attack the basket. Eden has a lot of upside.” Moody highlighted a lot of appeal throughout her time at camp and will be a prospect to monitor closely over the foreseeable future.

Good euro-step!” Palmer stood out as a difference-maker at camp and should be a key piece for Southern Durham going forward.
#59: 5’10 ’25 Alyssa Monroe (St. Paul’s)
Moving forward, we look at a player who impressed through her intangibles, physical tools, and general skillset, Alyssa Monroe. She’s a strong, versatile wing/forward prospect who naturally causes matchup problems with her blend of size and skill. Monroe is a useful creator, both for herself and others, with the ability to score in a variety of ways. She knocks down jumpers from midrange and beyond the arc, yet also understands how attack closeouts and finish or set up teammates. Monroe regularly made her presence felt on the glass. Next in her development process is working on her ability to move without the ball, as it would lead to more scoring opportunities. Coach Baker on Monroe: “Alyssa has great size and athleticism. She can play the 3, 4, or 5. Probably most comfortable at the 3. Strong attacker who can finish through contact. Strong rebounder. Love her overall game. Great midrange and pull-up jumper.
