Maria Jespersen

Above European average athlete. Good size and nice length for her position. Agile and quick, shows solid body control and coordination. Lacks a bit of strength and explosiveness, but there's room for improvement. Decent frame and good wingspan.

Not a strength definitely. She rather attacks the basket and doesn't feel comfortable taking shots from long range, although she is able to knock down mid range jumpers displaying decent rotation and high release. Irregular shooting the three, could improve in the future. Has gained consistency from the free throw line. Decent but improvable touch around the rim.

A nice offensive player with good scoring skills and instincts. She likes to attack the basket using her athleticism and ability to drive and beat defenders. Ability to create her own shot off the dribble. Good ball handling and nice body control and steps to the basket. Uses her length and agility to score in traffic. Can score some jumpers from 15-20 feet but needs to add some perimeter game developing her 3 point shot. Runs the floor very well and she's quick and effective in transition. Prone to TO, decision making is an issue so far. Court vision and passing skills looks like weaknesses at times. She can execute the pass, but looks for her shot first and has tunnel vision when attacking the rim.

Has great tools to play defense and can guard SG/SF positions but needs better fundamentals. Length, agility and coordination are there, waiting for real awareness and game reading. Great rebounder using her long arms and agility to crash both boards.

Arguably the best u16 prospect of the Nordic Championships. Talent and physical tools to make differences at this level.

Young, talented athlete. Definite D1 ability. Will be monitored thru the next seasons.
