Hovelson is a quality guard and someone her coach and teammates can rely on to make the right play.  She is a fantastic defender who gets a lot of deflections and steals which lead to easy scoring opportunities.  She puts her body on the line and steps in as a secondary defender to take charges.  These types of plays are big momentum swinging plays and lead to a lot of energy and excitement.  She is a skilled offensive player as well.  She utilizes a nice euro-step when driving to the basket and has a soft touch on her floaters.  She has good form with her shot and can knock down the three when she gets her feet set.
