2023 Who's NXT All-American Game (feat. Mikaylah Williams, Angelica Velez & Aalyah Del Rosario on the same team)

This game was actually played on WCBB Final Four Weekend, but was just uploaded to YouTube. If you saw the Ballislife Girls All-Star Game about a month ago with the LSU trio playing together on the same team, you probably came away thinking that Mikaylah is a beast, Velez is a revelation, and Del Rosario is a project. In this game, Del Rosario is still raw, but much more active & promising as a big body rebounder.

Del Rosario: 15 reb, 4 pts, 2 blk, 1 stl

Velez: 19 pts, 5 assists, 5 reb, 1 stl

Williams: 27 pts, 4 assists, 6 reb


Bonus: Williams/Velez interviewed together post-game (and the broadcast's play-by-play/color is much more professional & coherent)

Rosario is gonna be very good but she is very raw offensively. Rebounds well and has great moves near the rim, just needs to work on finishing through contact near the rim. Sa'Myah Smith came into LSU with that exact same issue and she got much better in short time despite limited minutes year one. She will benefit significantly from college offseason conditioning.


Its a pretty special class, besides the headliners Rosario and Williams, Velez and Kent IMO will surprise a lot of people.

Yea, I just didn't understand the low expectations for Del Rosario. I saw her play in the McDonalds All American game and I was quite impressed. She's decisive in the post, makes good passes, and even showed range from the 3 pt line. I think she'll give us VERY good minutes in her first year. I don't expect her to start, but I think she's going to help us her first year for sure. Mikaylah is a day one starter.
