Evaluation

USA U16 Trials-May 09: Physically, Trenton Catholic Academy (N.J.) guard Briyona Canty is one of the most impressive players you will find in the 2011 class. She has a pro-ready body and plays a physical brand of basketball. When she's on the court, you notice. If she gets even a half-step on her defender, she can get all the way to the basket. She is a truly explosive player that plays much bigger than 5-9. If she can cut down on the turnovers and hit the long-range jumper consistently, she could catapult to the top of the class in terms of guards and make a serious case for future USA teams.

Boo Williams-April 09: Briyona Canty of Philly Triple Threat has superstar potential and a skill set that is very unique to the girl's game. The speed at which she plays and the control she has with the ball is nothing short of amazing. She is a player that you never want to take your eyes off of on the court because she is going to put on a show. Whether it is a stop-and-pop jumper or a thread-the-needle pass to an open teammate, the 5-9 sophomore from Willingboro, N.J. can attack a defense in so many ways. She is also a very tough defender and from the perimeter she as the ability to block or alter jump shots.
