Chapman possesses excellent handles, allowing her to get anywhere she wants on the court. Her ability to stay low on her crossover and use a push cross creates space and opens up the floor, as she consistently keeps her head up, looking for open teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>However, she's also a proven scorer. One of her best scoring attributes is her ability to use her handles and craftiness to penetrate the defense and find creative ways to finish in the paint. Another standout aspect of her game is her ability to push the ball out in front of her in transition—an often-overlooked skill that she executes beautifully.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On December 13th against Wharton, Milaya put up an impressive 24 points and recorded 4 steals.

She uses two to three moves to attack her matchup and get to her spot, whether it's for a pull-up jumper or finishing at the rim. She's equally adept at finishing with either hand and can make some impressive off-hand finishes. With the ball seemingly on a string, she has the ability to change direction effortlessly and use creative moves to split double teams.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the most exciting aspects of her game is her passing—not just because of the impressive no-look and pinpoint dimes she delivers, but also because of her joy in seeing her teammates score.

Her ability to execute a between-the-legs crossover while driving downhill is remarkable.

Defensively, she is a ball hawk, with excellent timing to break for the ball and force turnovers. Offensively, what stands out is her fearless approach to attacking the rim. She thrives on physicality, and because she attacks so aggressively, she forces defenses to collapse, opening up opportunities for her teammates. With her great court vision, she consistently delivers dimes to set them up for easy baskets.
