She loves to get after it on defense and create turnovers in the paint or on the perimeter, and push the pace to get out in open space on the break. She can light it up on the perimeter with her quick release and silky smooth mechanics. Has a multitude of ways to get her shot off near the elbow or driving to the basket and she shows natural finishing ability in the paint. She will be one to watch as she will garner a lot of interest from college coaches in the coming years.
