is a tough guard being able to handle her own defensively on the block protecting the rim on defense. She uses this toughness on offense being able to battle in the paint for some points as she shifts around with the ball to pull up for jumpers all over the court. She has a nice touch off the glass, and she knows how to penetrate the paint drawing defenders towards her to make the dish on the block. She will definitely make opponents pay the price if she gets her shot up around the perimeter, too.

Darden is a feisty guard that is a strong rebounder. She is strong and uses that strength to finish around the basket through contact. She is solid at attacking the basket and making plays for her teammates around her. She is a lefty and she has range out to three point line and also has a very good mid-range game. While we will not see her during the playoff, she is a name to watch.
