Physical & Mental

In good physical condition. Strong and stocky build. Quick feet. Has true point guard mentality. Plays with a ton of heart. Athletic.

Ball Skills Has a decent handle. The type of point guard who is not flashy but gets the job done. Will always make the safe pass and set up the offense. Can handle the ball with both hands.
Offense She can create her own shot. She is a nice penetrator. Very disciplined when running an offense. Does have 3 point ability and range. Can push the ball in transition.
Rebounding Excellent for her size. Just flat out tough. She can pull more boards than some post players. Has great anticipation for reading the boards and a nice vertical. Works hard on both ends.
Defense Excellent on ball defender. Applies very good pressure and has quick hands. Off ball, she tends to get caught up in some screens but overall very solid. She will not hurt you.
