Scouting Report from 2003 InfoSport Pro Basketball Combine

Physical & Mental: In pretty good shape physically. She is a real hustler on the court. Strong mentally and physically. Solid build. OK stamina.

 

Ball Skills:  Good ball handler. Sees the floor well and can push the ball when needed.

 

Offense:  Is looking to pass rather than shoot, even if she is open. She does have a nice shot. She sees the floor well and has good crisp passes. She can sometimes force the pass though. She does not dribble out of traffic well.

 

Rebounding:  Usually gets back on the shot, but if she happens to be in position for the rebound she is strong. She will either dribble out or pass out.

 

Defense:  Not fundamentally sound here. Has a hard time getting through screens and does not react well to ball movement or her opponent's movement.


Game Knowledge:  Knowledgeable, but needs to learn to make better decisions on the court. Also needs to learn how to react better to the game in different situations, especially under pressure.

 

Strengths:  She will work hard and is a team player. She is not fancy but she gets the job done consistently.

 

Opportunities for Improvement:  Needs to work on ball handling and basic fundamentals. Needs to make smarter decisions when being pressured. Needs to get back on defense quicker.

 

Overall Comments:  Coachable. Works well with teammates. Plays hard. Always wants to know where she can improve. Truly wants to be a better player. Great attitude and personality.
