Team 5
Coach: Andra Butts
#5: 5'2 '24 Azaria Scott (Ben L. Smith)
Starting things off, we look at a player that made a quality impact despite being the smallest camper on this team, Azaria Scott. She's a tough, scrappy, unselfish guard prospect with a high motor and an understanding of how to make plays within the flow of the action. Scott does a great job of touching the paint and finishing or setting up others, but can also knock down jumpers at a respectable clip. She provides an active defensive presence and forces turnovers at the point of attack. Next in her development process is working on the use of her off-hand, as it would make her a better finisher around the basket. Coach Butts on Scott: 'Azaria can attack the rim and finish over opposing bigs. She's a good defender and hustle player that will rebound and communicate with others. She's a good leader among her teammates but sometimes has tunnel vision and can continue to improve as a shooter.' Scott enjoyed a quality showing at camp and should be a key piece for Ben L. Smith during her upcoming senior season.
#12: 5'5 '25 Chloe Galombeck (Hough)
Next, we look at a player that arguably stood out as the top shooting threat on this team, Chloe Galombeck. She's a steady, wiry guard prospect that displays the ability to pose problems for opponents with or without the ball in her hands. Galombeck is a lethal spot-up threat from beyond the arc, but can also attack closeouts if necessary. She moves well without the ball, finds open seams within the defense, and converts at a high percentage off the catch. Next in her development process is working on her overall playmaking sense, as it would make her a more dynamic creator. Coach Butts on Galombeck: 'Chloe is a knockdown shooter. She is crafty with the ball and can easily create her own shot, but can sometimes struggle when pressured. She needs to continue developing her IQ and court vision.' Galombeck did a lot of things well at camp and should be a strong contributor for Hough over the coming years.
#22: 5'6 '24 Boston Bates (North Mecklenburg)
Moving onto a player that consistently made her presence felt as a penetrator and defender, Boston Bates. She's a quick, wiry, high-motor guard prospect with the ability to apply constant pressure as a downhill force. Bates has no issue breaking down opponents, touching the paint, and finishing or making the necessary pass to set up others. She's a quality midrange shooter and respectable threat from beyond the arc. Bates is a menacing defender, especially at the point of attack, and forces turnovers on a regular basis. She pushes the break whenever possible and makes solid decisions with the ball in her hands. Next in her development process is working on her ability to move without the ball, as it would allow her to become a better spot-up threat. Coach Butts on Bates: 'Boston is great at driving the ball. Nice midrange shooter. Can sometimes over-penetrate and miss the open kick-out on the wing. I would like to see her improve her court vision. Boston is a great on-ball defender and communicator on that end of the floor.' Bates proved to be a difference-maker at camp and should be poised for a productive senior season at North Mecklenburg.
#29: 5'7 '27 Olivia Yancey (Lakewood)
Continuing onto a player that did a ton of things well despite being the youngest camper on this team, Olivia Yancey. She's a young, tough, team-oriented guard prospect with a nonstop motor and the ability to consistently outwork opponents on both ends of the floor. Yancey is a quality ball-handler and midrange shooter with an understanding of how to set up others or apply scoring pressure when needed. She displays quickness and sharp defensive instincts, which she utilizes to harass opposing ball-handlers and force turnovers at the point of attack. Yancey also works hard to get back in transition. Next in her development process is working on the use of her off-hand, as it would make her a better finisher around the basket. Coach Butts on Yancey: 'Olivia has a quick first step and good ability to shoot off the dribble. She's a good defender and willing hustle player. I would like to see her become a little more assertive.' Yancey highlighted a lot of appealing qualities at camp and will certainly be a prospect to monitor over the coming years.
#49: 5'9 '24 Maddie Pounds (NC GBB)
Next, we look at a player that made a lasting impression through her tough, polished identity, Maddie Pounds. She's a smart, skilled, well-rounded wing prospect with great size and creation instincts. Pounds scores the ball at an efficient yet healthy rate from all three levels and understands how to apply pressure with or without the ball in her hands. She possesses a nice handle, solid vision, and can consistently create shots for herself and others. Pounds utilizes her high motor to regularly cause problems for opponents defensively, which often leads to forced turnovers and transition play. Next in her development process is working on the use of her off-hand, as it would make her a more complete player. Coach Butts on Pounds: 'Maddie has a tremendous ability to score the ball. She's a great communicator and natural leader in the huddle. Solid three-point shooter who moves well without the ball. Can sometimes have tunnel vision. She can encourage others.' Pounds was among the top performers on display, and should have a very productive senior season at NC GBB.
#60: 5'11 '25 Lauren Farrell (Cox Mill)
Moving onto a player that consistently stood out through her rebounding sense and sheer nose for the ball, Lauren Farrell. She's a smart, strong, team-first forward prospect with a high motor and the ability to overwhelm opponents on both ends of the floor. Farrell is a great shooting threat, both from midrange and beyond the arc, with solid vision and a willingness to seek out the right play. She utilizes her body well to play physical defense, particularly in the post, and secure position as a two-way rebounder. Farrell moves very well without the ball, displays nice footwork on the block, and does a great job of controlling the glass. Next in her development process is working on becoming a craftier ball-handler, as it would make her an absolute nightmare matchup for opponents. Coach Butts on Farrell: 'Lauren rebounds extremely well. She's a quality low-post defender with good footwork and the ability to score inside or knock down jumpers. Good hustle player, but can continue to work on speed and quickness.' Farrell proved to be an asset throughout camp and should be a leader for Cox Mill over these next few years.
#67: 6'1 '25 Liz Wyrick (Greensboro Day)
Continuing onto a player that showcased a clear understanding of how to reliably produce within the flow of the team structure, Liz Wyrick. She's a long, wiry, unselfish forward prospect with a quality feel and smooth perimeter jumper. Wyrick is a great shooter from midrange and beyond the arc with the ability to create her own shot or find opportunities as a spot-up threat. She moves well without the ball, makes smart passes, and rebounds at a strong rate on both ends of the floor. Wyrick provides a solid defensive presence and utilizes her length well to alter shots inside the paint. Next in her development process is working on the use of her off-hand, as it would make her a better finisher around the basket. Coach Butts on Wyrick: 'Liz is a solid screener and shooter. She's a nice three-point shooter who runs the floor well. I would like to see her improve her ability to deal with physical play.' Wyrick enjoyed a quality showing at camp and should be a key piece for Greensboro Day over the foreseeable future.
#69: 6'0 '26 Rihanna Hunt (Oxford Webb)
Next, we look at a player that made a lasting impression with her ability to do the dirty work, especially for her age, Rihanna Hunt. She's a long, mobile, fairly well-rounded post prospect with a high motor and clear understanding of how to make an impact without requiring a ton of touches. Hunt runs the floor hard, finishes well around the basket, and scores effectively out of the post. That being said, she's arguably even more valuable as a rebounder and rim-protector'where she's able to control the glass and block shots at a consistent rate. Next in her development process is working on the use of her off-hand, as it would make her an even better finisher. Coach Butts on Hunt: 'Rihanna is a great rebounder and shot-blocker with solid athleticism. She needs to be louder on defense and can improve her ability to finish from below the rim.' Hunt already has an obvious amount of appeal, both currently and as a long-term piece, and will be one to watch closely over the coming years.
#78: 6'2 '26 Lola Richardson (NC GBB)
Finishing up, we look at a player that possesses as much long-term upside as anyone in attendance, Lola Richardson. She's a long, wiry post prospect with solid touch, mobility, and overall interior presence on both ends of the floor. Richardson utilizes her size very well to overwhelm opponents as a rebounder and shot-blocker. She finishes effectively around the basket, but can also space the floor and knock down perimeter jumpers at a consistent rate. Richardson runs the floor well and knows how to battle hard for positioning on the block. Next in her development process is working to get quicker, as it would make her an even better defensive player. Coach Butts on Richardson: 'Lola is a solid low-post presence with good size and the ability to finish from the block or shoot from the high post. She's a good help defender but needs to improve her ability to move her feet. Lola can also knock down the three-pointer.' Richardson did a lot of things well during her time at camp, and will be a prospect to monitor over the coming years at NC GBB.
