<p class="text-gray-700">Natalya has great anticipation on defense, consistently finding passing lanes to generate steals. She is a crafty finisher around the rim who can score with either hand and embraces contact when attacking the basket. Natalya also moves her feet well defensively, making it difficult for opponents to create separation.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Aubrey does a great job using her hands to poke the ball away from opposing ball handlers and turn steals into fast-break opportunities. She works well off screens, setting her feet quickly and knocking down threes. Aubrey can also get into the mid-range for pull-up jumpers and runs the floor hard in transition to create easy scoring chances.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Layla is a dangerous three-point shooter with a quick release that makes her difficult to close out on. She is also a good passer who can thread the needle to find cutting teammates with accurate passes. Layla finishes well with either hand and does a good job playing off two feet around the basket, helping her stay balanced through contact and create plenty of and-one opportunities.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Amira is a shifty ball handler who changes speeds well and makes it difficult for defenders to stay in front of her. She can blow by defenders and get to the rim in a split second. Amira also has an impressive pull-up jumper, needing very little space to get her shot off and knocking down shots at a high rate from both the mid-range and three-point line.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Ellie brings plenty of energy on the defensive end, showing the ability to elevate and block shots in the paint even against taller opponents. She does a good job holding her ground when matched up with bigger players. Ellie also has a quick spin move when attacking the paint that gives defenders little time to react, and she is always willing to dive after loose balls.</p>
