MaxPreps 2014-15 Preseason All-American Girls Basketball Teams

Second team

Jaelyn Brown, 6-1 junior wing, Vista Murrieta (Murrieta, Calif.) - Undecided
There are always a host of elite players in Southern California every year, but Brown stands out. She's long and athletic, and her 18.9 points, 9.6 rebounds and 3.7 steals a game came against a quality SoCal schedule.

Kennedy Burke, 6-1 senior wing, Sierra Canyon (Chatsworth, Calif.) - UCLA
Burke came out of nowhere to make the U-17 USA Basketball team this spring. Well, not exactly out of nowhere, as anyone who'd seen her play knew she combined athleticism and skill. And Sierra Canyon has quietly become a Southern California power.

Natalie Chou, 6-0 junior guard, Plano West (Texas) - Undecided
Chou is a shooter and a scorer, and has impressed at the national level by making a USA Basketball roster. She also has a good handle for her size and her basketball IQ makes her a prize recruit.

Lauren Cox, 6-4 junior forward, Flower Mound (Texas) - Undecided
Cox is an exceptionally athletic power forward who averaged 18.9 points, 14.1 rebounds and 4.8 blocks as a sophomore. She's a USA Basketball veteran, and perhaps the top player in the Class of 2016.

Sophie Cunningham, 6-1 senior guard, Rock Bridge (Columbia, Mo.) - Missouri
A smart, tough player with all the skills, Cunningham still has some who doubt her. But all she does is make plays and help her team win games against top competition.

Jordan Danberry, 5-7 senior guard, Conway (Ark.) - Arkansas
The Wampus Cats may have an obscure mascot, but there's nothing obscure about Danberry's talents. She runs the show for Conway, which is one of the top teams in the region.

Valerie Higgins, 6-1 junior wing, Chaminade (West Hills, Calif.) - Undecided
Higgins lacks the national profile of many elite players, but she helped Chaminade to a California Division III title last year with her combination of size and skill.

Caliya Robinson, 6-3 senior forward, McEachern (Powder Springs, Ga.) - Georgia
Smooth and athletic, Robinson is a defensive demon who averaged 6.6 blocks per game last year -- as well as 13.0 points, 10.9 rebounds and 3.8 assists for a 29-2 team.

Jessica Shepard, 6-3 senior forward, Fremont (Neb.) - Nebraska
Shepard is an outstanding all-around athlete who relies more on strength and skill than blinding speed and quickness. She's also a great get for her home state college, as she pretty much had her pick of college suitors.

Danni Williams, 5-10 senior guard, Clovis (N.M.) - Texas A&M
New Mexico isn't exactly a hotbed for high school girls' basketball, but college coaches still found their way to Clovis to watch this dynamic guard get 24 a game and lead her team to a 29-1 record.
