She has a number of dribble combination moves, hesitation, and jab moves that she uses to catch the defender off-balance and gets off any shot that she wants.  Has a nice floater as well as is more than capable of hitting it from deep.  Shot 43 percent from three and averaged 13 points, 5.2 rebounds 2.2 steals, and 2.3 assists per game last season for the Blues as she showcased her all around game.</span> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
