Another round of Boo

HAMPTON, Va. -- With thousands of players on the courts
at the 2012 Boo Williams Nike Invitational, we look at some
more standouts from the spring NCAA-certified viewing
period. Class of 2014 ...
A'ja Wilson (Hopkins, S.C.), Palmetto 76ers: The
ability of this 6-3 combo-forward is undeniable. Wilson has
the size, strength and skill to be one of the most complete
and versatile inside players in the class. She was
impressive attacking the basket from the high post and short
corner, showcasing balance and smooth athleticism that
simply can't be taught. She was equally impressive showing
her ball-handling and passing skills, and on multiple
occasions took a defensive rebound and started the break on
her own. She also plays through contact and gets to the
line. The only question is the level of completion she is
facing. Matchups with Brianna Turner and Jatarie White would
have given that context, and both were in the tournament but
in different brackets. Perhaps the USA Basketball trials
next month can make that happen.
