Carmen continues to defends at a high level, having elite athleticism to defend multiple positions. She finishes around the rim nicely and can sink shots from deep if defenses sleep on her jumper. Derda has the abilities to play at the next level and shows it nightly. She adjusts on the fly well and knows how to display high IQ plays. 

Carmen is a great two-way player for West Seattle, and I can’t wait to see how she fairs against some spectacular talent in the Metro Conference. She pressures her defender really well and displays outstanding hustle. She’s also a great facilitator on offense; she aggressively attacks the paint and has shown she can knock down three-point shots. I am very interested to see her and West Seattle play soon.

Another great player from West Seattle, Carmen is great on both ends of the court. Defensively, she has great on-ball pressure and plays with great hustle. On the offensive side of the ball, she drives to the hoop with intent and is great and finding her teammates, and can knock down jumpers from both mid-range and three-point range. Going into her junior season, she could be a difference maker for West Seattle.
