Top Sleepers

6-2 •
Forward
Louisville
Baker is a versatile frontcourt scorer capable of finishing inside, but her long-term projection hinges on her outside jumper. At 6’2”, her high release and reliable shooting provide a clear, translatable offensive skill set.
6-1 •
Forward
North Carolina
A relentless rebounder with a high motor, Akot consistently plays much bigger than her 6’1” frame. Her physical interior presence and knack for securing extra possessions give her utility as a gritty, rotation player.
6-0 •
Guard
Minnesota
A three-level scorer, Braun can create her own shot off the bounce. Her sharp mechanics and natural scoring instincts make her a constant threat to stretch opposing defenses.
6-1 •
Guard
LSU
Reynolds brings exceptional size and physicality to the backcourt as a versatile, two-way guard with aggressive perimeter defense.
