Offense:  Very good decision maker. Gets everyone involved. Is a major three-point threat, from all areas of the arc. Has good range 15-22 feet. Can hit the turn-around jumper. Does not like to post up. Not a banger. Is a solid scorer, good at creating her own shot.

 

Rebounding:  Has long arms and knows how to use them. Pulls a lot of long rebounds. Will get in there and bang for the boards. Needs more upper body strength to really muscle for the ball.

 

Defense: She is very good with on-ball pressure. Has good hands. Deflects a lot of balls. When she gets tired she tends to stop moving her feet and reaches. Anticipates well in helpside defense. Communicates well with teammates in transition.


Game Knowledge:  Is a student of the game. Strong fundamentals. Understands all of the jargon, offensive and defensive sets. Has the rare ability to help teammates play better and understand what is going on.
