The 16U division at Nike Girls EYBL Las Vegas featured another wave of elite talent, with prospects producing at a high level against some of the nation’s best competition. These players consistently impacted winning through efficient scoring, rebounding, versatility, and two-way play.
Shaw Summer – Essence 16 EYBL
Summer closed the weekend playing some of her best basketball, averaging 15.2 points while displaying tremendous scoring efficiency. She erupted for 28 points on 11-of-14 shooting against Pro Skills, knocking down four three-pointers and showing her ability to score from every level. Whether attacking off the bounce or spacing the floor, Summer proved she can take over offensively in a hurry.
Kalani Kindred – LeGynds 16 EYBL
Kindred established herself as one of the premier frontcourt performers in Las Vegas, averaging 16.0 points and 8.5 rebounds. The physical post dominated the paint with a 28-point, 11-rebound performance against Alabama Southern Starz and consistently protected the rim throughout the event. Her combination of strength, rebounding, and interior finishing made her a matchup problem all weekend.
Gillian Green – Missouri Phenom 16 EYBL
Green wasted little time making an impact, opening the event with back-to-back 27-point performances. She averaged 16.0 points while scoring efficiently around the basket and from the perimeter, shooting nearly 60 percent in her first two contests. Her confidence, touch, and ability to produce offensively kept Missouri Phenom competitive throughout the weekend.

Larsen showcased one of the purest shooting strokes in the tournament, averaging 16.8 points in under 19 minutes per game. She connected on 15 three-pointers over five games and shot efficiently from all areas of the floor. Larsen’s ability to stretch defenses with her perimeter shooting makes her one of the more dangerous offensive weapons in the 16U division.

Mitchell filled the stat sheet throughout the weekend, averaging 17.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.8 assists. Her signature performance came with 30 points against Pro Skills, where she knocked down five three-pointers while also creating offense for teammates.

Olivia Johnson – All Iowa Attack 16 EYBL
Johnson was one of the most dominant post players in Las Vegas, averaging 18.4 points and 10.2 rebounds while recording double-doubles throughout the weekend. She showcased soft touch around the basket, stepped out to knock down perimeter shots when needed, and completely controlled the glass. Her 18-rebound performance against Drive Nation highlighted the relentless motor and physicality she brings every game.
Final Thoughts
The 16U division once again demonstrated why the future of girls basketball is in great hands. Summer’s scoring ability, Kindred’s interior dominance, Green’s offensive consistency, Larsen’s elite shooting, Mitchell’s all-around production, and Johnson’s dominance in the paint all made lasting impressions. As the EYBL season continues, expect each of these prospects to remain firmly on the radar of college coaches nationwide.
