What scouts are saying about both Aaliyah Chavez and Jazzy Davidson
Both Chavez and Davidson have gotten much praise from scouts, experts, and recruitment insiders from all over the country. Here is what 247Sports' Brandon Clay, the director of scouting for women's basketball, says about either of them:
Here is how he describes Aaliyah Chavez:
"Rated as the No. 1 player in the class, Chavez is a profilfic yet efficient scoring option at the guard position. She can play on the basketball or off though she might be best suited to be a primary lead guard in college," he said.
"Chavez gets her shot off as easily as any high school guard I can remember dating back to the days of Kelsey Mitchell as a prep prospect. A five-star guard, Chavez has legitimate shooting range to 25 feet with the ability to get into the teeth of the defense on a consistent basis to make a shot or find a corner shooter," he added.
Here is how he described Jazzy Davidson:
"Davidson is a smooth perimeter option capable of playing multiple roles on the hardwood. A left-hand dominant prospect, Davidson has showcased her versatility in the toughest environments available at the prep level and still shined brightly." said Clay
"As a member of the USA Basketball 18-and-Under team, Davidson demonstrates an ability to penetrate off the dribble consistently, driving to the rim effectively," he added.
While Davidson is the new No. 1, according to ESPN, Chavez has done so much more during their senior year, including being named the Naismith Player of the Year.
