Scouting Report from 2003 InfoSport Pro Basketball Combine

Physical & Mental:  Out of shape but plays hard when not too tired. Good physical build. Strong body with above average speed.

 

Ball Skills: Average ball handler for a guard, above average for a forward. Cannot dribble in traffic. Decision-making on the move is only average.

 

Offense: Role player. Good shooter, three-point range and fairly quick release. Needs to be more active without the ball. Likes to spot up at the three-point line. Not a creator. Runs the floor hard when not tired. Finishes ok.

 

Rebounding: Could be a great rebounder, but not active enough. Settles for being boxed out. Not aggressive to the ball. Good hands. Does not box out consistently. Tries to out jump her opponent.

 

Defense: Average. Does not anticipate well and get in the passing lanes. Aggressive but gets beat off the dribble at times. Only average help side defender. Foot speed not bad.


Game Knowledge: Average. Does not read defenses well. Does not take advantage of openings and find ways to get open.

 

Strengths:  Shooting 3's. Strong body.

 

Opportunities for Improvement:  Be more active with and without the basketball. Work harder on defense. Get in better shape. Needs to be more active in all aspects of the game.

 

Overall Comments:  Coachable, positive and a good attitude.
