Danyella has all the tools to impact every game she's in on both ends. The length, the ball handling, the IQ/Awareness, and an abundance of confidence to go with it. She can facilitate 5 straight possessions, then switch to attack mode the next 5 without a hiccup. 3 level scoring mixed with a poised demeanor is an issue.

Numerous times she faked out defenders for easy finishes around the rim, or made a slick move then a smooth pass for a bucket. Her energy is high, but her emotion never seems to never rattle. Offensively, the kid is 3 levels of pure talent. Defensively, the length she has is a key reason to why her versatility is high as well.
