| I have had the pleasure of coaching Brooke Drayer for
two seasons throughout the spring/summer season. Our team played against
some of the best teams in the state and throughout the nation as well
as playing up an age division in most tournaments during our two seasons
together. Brooke, as well as her other teammates, welcomed the challenge
of playing against top-notch competition and up an age division.
Brooke is a natural point-guard who sees the floor extremely well.
Brooke is very versitile, she can play an up-tempo game and is also
capable of slowing the game down and playing in a half-court game.
Brooke can score off of the dribble and she can use the dribble
to set up scoring opportunities for her teammates. One way or another,
Brooke can make good things happen on the floor from the point-guard
position. I don't think there's an offensive scheme that Brooke
would not be successful in.
Brooke is also capable of playing at the 2-guard or 3-guard positions
as she has a very good shot from the perimeter and understands how
to use the shot-fake and jab-step to create spacing to create a
shot or a dribble drive opportunity.
Defensively, Brooke is a solid on-ball and help-side defender.
Brooke understands how to adjust her defensive pressure and positioning
accordingly to the skill sets of the offensive player she is defending.
Brooke understands how to play team defense and rebounds very well
from the point-guard position.
I recommend Brooke Drayer to any coach who is looking for a point-guard
with a high level of basketball intelligence as well as a versitile
skill set. Brooke can be a scoring point-guard or a distributor
and defends very well. Brooke is capable of running any offensive
system and can play at a fast or a slow tempo.
Brooke is ranked as one of the top 50 freshman in the state of
Ohio by the OGBR and for good reason. Brooke is a solid all-around
player and has two older sisters that have went on to play collegiate
basketball.
I would be glad to answer any questions in regards to Brooke, please
