#4 Alia Denwiddie and #3 Aaliyah Pitts

Atlanta, GA-   Showtime served as the unofficial kickoff to the week of festivities going on in the Metro Atlanta area, starting a day before the NCAA evaluation period allowed coaches to attend games. The organizers (@InsiderExposure) cleverly implemented a "showtime" theme throughout the event, naming divisions after iconic television shows, giving the proceedings a light-hearted feel. However, once the first whistle blew, it was clear that there were plenty of kids that were hungry to make a name for themselves. These are some of the players that did just that.

2020

Gabrielle Turco (5'9 Shooting Guard) - Jersey Dream

Gabrielle combines South Jersey toughness with New York City swagger to give opposing players fits whenever she has the ball. Her broad shouldered frame suggests that she would prefer powering her way to the basket, but Gabrielle surprised many with her impressive breakdown ball-handling. The fear of falling victim to one of Turco's crossovers is what allows her to create space for a picturesque jump shot that extends beyond three-point range or one of her daringly athletic drives to the basket. Ultimately, whenever Gabrielle Turco has the ball...she's a threat.  

Aaliyah Pitts (6'0 Shooting Guard) - Team Loaded 703 Cortez

Not too many players arrived in Atlanta with more in their bag than this big time scoring guard. While Pitts isn't the flashiest player, her dissection of opposing defenses is surgical. She consistently stayed a step ahead of her defenders. Soft close out? She'll hit the three. Hard close out? One hard dribble into a beautiful mid-range jumper. Big comes over to help? At six-feet tall, Pitts can throw up a floater as if she's a 5'5 point guard. She seems to always have an answer, which will make her a very efficient scorer at the college level.

Ajia James ajiahoops (6'1 Power Forward) - Team Loaded 703 Cortez

Coaches tell me she has a High GPA… and it shows on the court. She displayed good court awareness and feel for the game. Right now, we have her in the database as a PF, but eventually she will be able to play the SF in college. She has the shooter's touch and can finish with either hand around the basket when attacking. Last season, she earned 2nd Team All-State.
