Alani had length, hustle, and a versatile skill set that stood out for Michigan Lady Playmakers 15U at the PGH Michigan State Tournament. Alani ripped the ball away on the defensive end, pushed it the length of the court with pace, switched hands in transition, then completed the play with a smooth left-handed layup in stride. She showed her outside range by draining a confident corner three and made good basket cuts. Alani picked off a pass, immediately looked to score, and delivered a smart bounce pass to give a teammate an open look after drawing the help defender. Alani swatted a shot on the defensive end and met the ball in the air for a catch and finish off two feet in transition.
