Scouting Report from 2003 InfoSport Pro Basketball Combine

Physical & Mental:  Not good at decision-making. Takes herself out of games mentally. Very critical of herself. Could be in better shape. Seemed to fatigue quickly. Does not have the best attitude - walked off the court, complained about officiating.

 

Ball Skills:  Limited ball handling skills. Only knows one speed: full speed. Does not seem to have ability to slow down the offense or control the tempo.

 

Offense:  Has a nice outside shot but poor shot selection. Passes up a lot of good opportunities. Very aggressive driving to the basket and drawing fouls. Can get out of control. Moves well without the ball. Likes to shoot from the perimeter. Often passed up easier shots looking for a "3".

 

Rebounding:  Very aggressive going to the offensive boards. Needs to develop fundamental blocking out.

 

Defense:  Can be lazy at times. Lost her opponent quite a bit. Very foul prone. Shoots passing lanes and takes a lot of chances.


Game Knowledge:  Not a "smart" player. Does not understand how to control game tempo.

 

Strengths:  Outside shot, strength/build, penetrating.

 

Opportunities for Improvement:  Consistency, ball handling, shooting off the dribble, shot selection, decision-making.

 

Overall Comments:  Has a lot to improve upon in order to make it at the next level. Can easily start at a lower division and work her way up from there.
