PSB TOC Standouts -- Part I | Brandon Clay | 4 years 11 months ago |
Aalim has the frame and athleticism to contribute at the collegiate level at this moment. Her ability to defend multiple positions on the perimeter is a strength that coach Manisha Redus identified in the recruiting process for Aalim. Add in her ability to rebound and Aalim has a chance to make an impact on the defensive end during her freshman year at Palm Beach Atlantic. Her willingness to be coached has always been one of the virtues of Aalim's game. She is capable of being a vocal leader on the court or she can play a contributing role around a star player. Her offensive game has made big strides over the year. Her ability to handle the basketball and attack the rim are big check marks. She projects to play off the ball in a two-guard role at the next level, but she certainly should be able to help as a lead guard in spots. The area that Aalim will need rep out in upcoming months is with her jump shot. Her technique looks solid. She gets her shoulders square and a high release, especially in drills. However, that has not turned into the results she wants during games. With repetition and attention to detail, we expect Aalim to get her jump shooting percentages up as she becomes a mainstay on the PBA Sailfish roster in future years.
- + Defender
- + Work ethic
- + Vocal
Aalim has shown worlds of improvement on both ends of the floor. She is a bright kid with the speed and work ethic to be a high level on and off ball defender. Aalim is showing that she can be vocal on that end of the floor as well. Offensively, her progress includes more consistency on her jumper and a willingness to attack the rim off of the bounce. If Aalim will commit to being a mid 30's shooter from beyond the arc percentage wise, her value increases yet again as a result.
Aalim is point guard who handles, defends and play-makes. She brings a positive energy to the court. Her willingness to do the dirty work on both ends of the court is invaluable. In that way she is not purely a point guard, but instead a player that can make plays on either end of the court. It’s within reason to see Aalim as a primary on-ball defender at the college level depending on the system and fit. Working on the arc of her jump shot will be important for her as she tries to increase ability to score the basketball.
Aalim puts us in the mind of D'Andra Pringle (GA-15) who went to Georgia Highlands out of high school. She is a long-armed guard who can create plays from the PG position or hit jumpers from the wing. What caught our eye the most was how Aalim was willing to do the little things in game play such as blocking out on the defensive end. Her free throw is solid and her ability to hit floaters in the lane gives her the ability to keep defenders guessing as to what she will do next. Her jumper could become a little more consistent, but that should be fixed with repetition and practice. If there is an area coming out of camp that she should focus on it would be her defensive awareness away from the ball. Being able to see ball and man and move as a defender accordingly is incredibly important for her effectiveness as a defender.
