But still, her performance was above the average. After Basketzoom’s tournament and Jr. NBA, her game prove that she is one of the top ranked players of her class. How she enjoys every hoop to the rim, you can barely missed it when you look at her face : “She loves shooting 3 points and she is an excellent guard.

If Kelya lacks concentration on the field, Kelya is not aware of the enormous potential that sleeps in her: "Kelya is very assiduous and manages to win despite her young age. When she plays, she lacks concentration and she has a hard time believing in her potential, which is huge, "says her Coach Clemence Nga Yomba. Like many young people of her age, she should improve her left side which is often lacking when the defenses are in excessive pressing.

Aggressive, she knows how to take on her some responsibility and lead the team. Trained at Fuseet Basketball Academy since she was 13, she has developed a good spirit of initiative. On the other hand, if a 3pts shoot is to improve, Cynthia is always ready to learn how to do better. "When she plays, she wants to give everything she has, and often more. This overflow often makes her not be consistent on the given instructions. She still has a lot to learn and we are working to make her better on a daily basis, "says Coach Didier Bassanguina, Fusee Assistant Coach.
7- Morgan Nguekam
Volunteer and enthusiastic, Morgan is very good at 1-on-1, as a defender on the right side. By cons, when his opponent requires her to use his left side, it puts her in trouble. During the tournament, she made a good margin of progress and good defense action. If some work remains to be done, including her address to the rim, her cheerfulness in learning makes the task seem easier even if it is sometimes difficult to assimilate.
