I’ve had multiple evaluations from the Film Room on Chapman over the past couple of years. It was evident in this one that she has taken her game to another level based on her play. Chapman has the skill set to be a consistent producer in the backcourt. She had a fantastic sophomore school season averaging 12.5 points and 4.7 assists per game. Chapman’s ability to set the table for her teammates and make the open shot as well is a tough combination. In that regard, she’s established herself as one of the better Class of 2027 backcourt threats inside the state. Chapman will also make things happen on the defensive end of the floor as well. Keep an eye on the next 6 months for her on the club circuit. That's not an area to improve as much as it is an area to keep showcasing the growth I saw in this evaluation. – Brandon Clay / @BrandonClayPSB
Chapman's skill set is commendable, and her assertiveness and work ethic are impressive. She has solid form on her jumper, consistently getting her feet set and squaring her hips and shoulders to the rim. She shot it well from range and found her spots off the dribble, effectively beating closeouts. Chapman is also a guard who doesn’t shy away from physicality on her drives. While her offensive game is strong, improving her defense could elevate her overall impact on the court.
Chapman's growth has been both consistent and impressive. She brings a workmanlike approach to every session I have a chance to evaluate her in. Chapman has the ability already to keep her under her shoulders even on the move. That's a hard principle for most prospects who play the game with the energy that she does. Her footwork is almost always in the "Box" under her shoulders. Chapman is what I call a "rhythm shooter" meaning if she sees 2 or 3 shots drop, that number can quickly turn into 7 or 8. That's a value for schools recruiting her at the PG or SG position. The next step for Chapman's shot before we train again in September is to consistently finish her shot with her elbow above her eye level. -- Brandon Clay / @BrandonClayPSB
Chapman is playing against high level competition year round in a state that lives and breathes basketball. In her freshman school season, Chapman was a starter for Zionsville with a quality statline of: 7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1.6 steals per contest. Chapman was able to deliver those stats on just seven shooting attempts a game. Her efficiency is a major plus at the lead guard position in the future. Armed with range out to the 3-point line, Chapman can keep opposing defenses honest as well. Learning when and where to pick her spots to assert herself offensively will be a major key in her development the next 12-18 months. We'll get to work with her in late-April in Indianapolis. -- Brandon Clay / @BrandonClayPSB
Chapman knows what she is doing footwork and balance wise in the gym which is impressive for a middle school prospect. On her shot, the ball is a little close on the shot so she can space that out a bit over time. Chapman is strong enough to keep her elbow on line with the rim and in front of her now. Her footwork is crisp and consistent every possession. She's got a lot of upside to be an elite level shot maker during her high school career and beyond. -- Brandon Clay
