Five-star prospect Addison Bjorn (Class of 2026) is turning heads while leading Parkhill South. A clip of her during practice has caught the attention of NBA player development specialist Marcus Walker, who called her the "Female Kevin Durant" in his post.
The video showed her dribbling skills before she drove it to the basket, receiving plenty of positive comments in the comments section. One of those left impressed by Addison Bjorn is LSU star Flau'jae Johnson, who dropped a three-word reaction to the clip.
"Lmao she moving," the Tigers star said.
This received a reply from Walker, who revealed that this was only day one of him training the five-star small forward.
"@flaujae that’s my DAY 1 right there @flaujae. It’s our time to lock in 🔒. You know it’s long overdue 🤞🏾," Walker replied.

What scouts are saying about five-star small forward Addison Bjorn
While Marcus Walker praised the 6-foot-3 small forward's ballhandling skills, other scouts, including 247Sports' National Director of Scouting for Women's Basketball, Brandon Clay, praised her versatility.
"Perimeter versatility is key for any roster. Addison Bjorn is the player who brought that trait to the USA Basketball 17-and-Under roster," Clay said. "Bjorn is a capable guard, wing, or even forward, depending on her matchup. That's a rare quality for a player who stands 6-foot-2. Bjorn's presence provided the coaching staff with added depth at multiple positions as she won her second consecutive gold medal.
"As she continues to add strength to her frame, she will likely show even more production, especially on the offensive end of the floor."
She is ranked ninth in the Class of 2026, third at small forward, and first overall in Missouri.
