She can score in bunches from all over, but especially from attacking the rim. Her ball handle is strong, and she's willing to do whatever is needed out of her in that possession.

Donovan sticks out just about wherever she plays. Her IQ is always the first thing noticed, and her ability to play the game with poise is the main thing that intrigues me. She plays the game far more mature than her age, and she can run the offense with just about any type of player. As the skills start become fine tuned, and she starts to grow..

She's a risky passer, but the vision is there and the passes are usually pinpoint. She's active, tough and has no agenda when she plays the game. An outside shot is present as well.

Defensively she's alert on rotations, she's willing to guard who ever and her instincts to blow up lanes, skip passes or lazy passes are evident.
