Very tough mentally, and extremely strong physically.

Ball Skills Great ball skills and control. Crisp passing.
Offense Has the ability to score at will. Very explosive. Can be streaky at times. Good mid-range. Very strong penetrator. Not afraid to go inside. Gets to the basket and foul line very well.
Rebounding Would like to see her go to defensive glass more frequently.
Defense Great on the ball defender. Has the ability to become a shut down defender. Would like to see her slide her feet more instead of using hands to reach for the ball.

Great knowledge of the game. Can tell she has been well-coached.  very complete player. Good poise on the court.
Strengths Good shooter, personable, coachable, strong physically, great court vision.
Opportunities for Improvement Has the ability to be a great player, but needs to improve conditioning to combat fatigue. Shot drops off when fatigue sets in.
