The Best of Summer Series is all about celebrating the club circuit's lady road warriors who put their games on the line from the end of March until the end of July. Much of the hub-hub is about tall, dominating post players, the new wave of tall point guards, cat-quick wing players and shooters with length. So with our next installment of the Best of Summer 2011, we give nods to the players who don't fit the prototype, yet still got it done in impressive fashion.

We gripe all summer about players not finishing with their left hand. Some players don't even bother to use it for a layup, even if it improves the angle and protects it from the help side defense. So maybe the easiest solution is to just have a couple of lefties on the team, like ESPN HoopGurlz evaluator, Lisa Bodine.
Lisa's 2011 All-Lefty Team
Danielle Ballard, Memphis EliteAllisha Gray, Georgia Metros
Malina Howard, Sports City U
Alexis Jones, Texas Express
Kelsey Mitchell, All Ohio Black/Lady Wolves Elite
Zaire O'Neal, Gauchos 15U
Kelsey Plum, Wiggins Waves
Taya Reimer, Gym Rats-Riego/Midwest Elite
Jatarie White, Boo Williams
Peyton Whitted, GA Hoopstars
This year's All-Leftie Team has a little bit of everything; tough post players, lights-out shooters, dynamic scorers and smooth passers. Just imagine this southpaw squad on the floor as a real team -- they may never have to go to their right.
