She boxes out well and consistently secures rebounds on both ends of the floor. Offensively, she is effective around the paint, scoring on post-ups near the basket and also stepping out to the free-throw line area to knock down mid-range shots, particularly against zone defenses.

Although able to play power forward effectively, she’s listed as a center here. What a powerful, yet fierce defender Harcourt is. She also has this competitive edge that’s needed to win big games. A player that’s willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done, including sacrificing her body to make momentous plays. A great screen setter, a solid roller and Daniella also absorbs a lot of the physical contact met at the rim. The defense is what really sets her apart though. The influence she has on this side of the ball is immense. This is one of the main factors in her placing as the #2 player at the position.

Of Nigerian descent and transferred into Darrow this year, the star center Harcourt is poised for a big season. Typically, it isn’t the safest bet to pencil in a transfer player as an instant impact player, but Daniella is an exception. Most aren’t familiar with how much of an effect she can have over the game on both ends of the floor and that’s why she could be Darrow’s x-factor this year. The dominating size, athleticism, plus the polished skills on both sides of the ball make her a top talent in the class, especially at the position. There’s a very high ceiling with a player like Harcourt and she is in the beginning of her total overall development. Daniella already has a couple Division 1 offers and will certainly have more after this season.
