ESPN Player Evaluations
Nike Skills Academy MN-May 2012: Buckley was in a league of her own this weekend. She's smooth with the ball in her hands. Good build, can get stronger to finish through contact. Scores it well off the catch or bounce. Not elite in either area but good in both. Good lateral speed. (Clay)
Nike Nationals-July 11: Continues to prove that she may well be in the upper echelon of perimeter players in the 2013 class. Aggressive in her approach with a constant attack. Very instinctual player who has shown the ability to read defenses and make good choices each time we've seen her. Can score effectively herself off the drive or the spot up in the perimeter. Her form is smooth and fluid and her shot selection well thought. On the defensive end she's active and constantly harassing opposing guards. Takes some risks on the weakside at times but came up with a few results that were converted. Scraps with the best of them and isn't afraid to burn some calories or get on the floor. (Lewis)
USJN Great Plains-May. 11: Nice guard with versatile skills. Creates effectively with her ballhandling creating both shots and passes. Constantly on the attack with and without the ball. Cuts hard off the ball looking to score. The stroke is there as well as some range and consistency. sound athlete but additional strength and quickness will be an asset down the road. (Lewis)
A 5-9 guard, the nice mix of attacking the lane off the dribble and three-point shooting range make Buckley a potential offensive threat from anywhere inside of 23 feet on the offensive end. She also caught our eye with her solid ball skill and the willingness to get teammates involved in the action. For the slender framed shooting guard, learning where to take that outside shot to keep defenses honest and help her team put points on the board appears to be the next step in her development. (Clay)
Nike Skills-May '10: Buckley is a point guard prospect with speed and defensive antipation skills. She has good foot work and bounce laterally. Good solid guard.
