her range shooting the ball, and she was creating space herself to knock down the shot.  She uses screens well knowing how to move off of them to get the open look.  She hustled back on defense showing off her ability to block some shots on fast breaks protecting the basket.  To further show how she cnan do it all, she crashes the boards coming up with rebounds on both ends, and she can easily turn steals into fast break points with her speed. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

to get her hands in the face of her opponents preventing them from getting a clean shot.  She was hustling after every loose ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!--

teammates in stride as they flashed up the court on fast breaks.  She runs the floor well pushing the ball up the court herself or being ready for the pass in transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

You can see how athletic she is with the way she jumps in front of passes and deflects the ball being a nuisance on defense.  Her on ball defense is tough stripping it away from her opponents and protecting any path to the basket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block
