Defensively, Gigi is tenacious and physical. She takes pride in guarding the ball and doesn't shy away from contact, often guarding the opponent's best perimeter player. She also crashes the glass with purpose, showing a willingness to fight for rebounds and do the dirty work typically expected of post players.
Gigi’s leadership was on full display during the 2025 Grind Session season, where she led her team on an undefeated run to the championship game, narrowly falling to Royal Crown in a heartbreaker at the buzzer. Her resilience and composure in high-pressure moments cemented her as one of the top returning guards in the Grind Session circuit.

Yohana Fami
Class of 2026 | 6'1" Combo Guard | Royal Crown (CAN)

Yhanna Fami is an intriguing prospect in the Class of 2026, standing at 6'1" with a blend of athleticism, length, and mobility that immediately draws attention. Currently playing for Royal Crown in Toronto, Fami is beginning to emerge as one of Canada’s more promising young forwards.
Offensively, she is most comfortable facing the basket, where she excels as a face-up attacker. Her quick first step and ability to make fast decisions allow her to get downhill and put pressure on defenses before they can get set. She’s not afraid to attack mismatches and often uses her speed to create scoring opportunities in transition or off the dribble. While her offensive game is still maturing, she shows flashes of a developing mid-range jumper and isn’t shy about being aggressive when given space.
Defensively, Fami’s length and timing stand out. She consistently alters shots and is effective on the glass, especially on the defensive end. Her wingspan also helps her collect deflections and steals, often sparking fast breaks. In the post, her foot speed allows her to defend both quicker wings and more traditional forwards, giving her versatility on the defensive side of the ball.
Where she needs refinement is in her decision-making under pressure. Turnovers remain an area for growth, as she can sometimes force passes or get sped up in traffic. With continued development in ball security and improved patience in half-court sets, she has the tools to become a more complete offensive player

One of her most defining traits is the way she competes—Salgado plays with a relentless motor and a true passion for the game. She doesn’t take plays off and is constantly involved in the action, whether it’s diving for loose balls, battling on the boards, or defending with intensity. Her physicality stands out, and she’s not afraid to initiate or absorb contact on either end of the floor.
Offensively, she has a diverse skill set for a forward. Salgado is confident with the ball in her hands and capable of making plays from the perimeter, whether it's driving to the basket or initiating offense for her teammates. Her ability to handle the ball at her size gives her an edge, particularly in transition or against bigger, slower defenders. She also shows flashes of explosiveness, especially when elevating for rebounds or finishing in traffic.
Defensively, her strength and effort allow her to defend multiple positions. She’s active on the glass, often out-jumping opponents for rebounds and creating second-chance opportunities. Her physical approach sets a tone for her team and often swings momentum in their favor.
