Right to left crossover into a mid range pullup is TOUGH.  SHOOTER!  She kid is a legit 3 level scorer. Makes the right reads off ball-screens, and if you drop coverage her…she's pulling.

Smart player that exploited the switch when it was there.  Created extra opportunities on the glass. Anytime she found a switch and Hurst wasn't guarding her, she was attacking the rim.  Never really got going, but continued to impact the game with her athleticism and length.
