Aaliyah is a strong, physical post presence who plays with fearless aggression, making her a difficult matchup on the block. As the season has progressed, she has shown improved patience and composure in the post, allowing her to get to her spots and finish consistently at the rim.

Defensively, she has taken a step forward as a rim protector, rotating on time to help on drives and using her size and strength to alter shots in the paint.

She has also become a more reliable decision-maker when facing double teams. She reads where the help is coming from, stays poised, and delivers sharp passes—whether it’s a cross-court kick-out or a dump-off to a cutter.
