Evaluation

Music City-July 09: Jewell Loyd of Lincolnwood, Ill., is fun to watch. The Full Package guard plays the game at a speed matched by few. Slowing the game down with her on the court is nearly impossible because she accelerates past the would-be defenders. She changes directions at full throttle and has the ability to pull up from 3-point range when the defender goes into full retreat.

USA U16 Trials-May 09: Jewell Loyd of Lincolnwood, Ill., is an energy player, pure and simple. She instantly increases the pace of play by checking into the game. She is relentless on the court, makes things happen and is the first player to give a player a verbal boost. The 5-9 guard pushes the tempo so much that turnovers tend to come a little more frequent than expected for a player of her caliber. She showed some perimeter shooting ability, but could be a little more consistent.

Fall 08: At first, Jewel Loyd just looked like another great athlete -- but then she buried four long three-pointers when her team needed them most, and it became clear why college coaches were congregating at her games. She's very athletic, a good shotblocker (even at 5-8) and can create her own shot. She has quick hands and jumps well, which just makes her an even better player. If she works hard, she will be an elite player.
