Spector plays with a chip on her shoulder. She takes pride in defending her assignment and gets stops. With the guard talent at Pius, she’s played that role, thrived in it, and is one of the better perimeter defenders in her area. However, she showed what she could do offensively as a junior. She has the confidence to attack off the dribble and has the talent to score from all three levels. She can play any role a coach may want at the next level and find ways to help her team win.

Few players have the confidence that Spector has. No matter where she’s on the court, and whoever she’s lined up against, she believes she can make an impact play. She’s wired to compete and wants to win above all else, and a player with that mentality will be a valuable part of a college program. Since she got to high school, defense has always been her calling card, but she displayed a new side to her game offensively after other guards had graduated. I love her approach to each game, and believe she could be better than she may even think she could become at the next level.

Chelinda’s passing ability was on full display but not always in the traditional “ball dominate” way. She was one of the better rebounders and her deep outlet passes led her teammates to many easy run out baskets. She also showed off her passing with the ability, from the wing, to read the defense, feed the post, and cut/relocate for open shots.

Chelinda was impressive, all-around, specifically so on the boards. As I mentioned, in a previous article, she is a tenacious rebounder who did an excellent job boxing out and starting many fast breaks with long outlet passes leading to easy buckets. Her box out technique was very solid, and she was able to hold the bigger/taller players at bay.

When I think about players that did a little bit of everything, I think of Chelinda. Tenacious rebounder who did an excellent job boxing out and starting many fast breaks with long outlet passes. When she wasn’t grabbing the board, she was often leading the pack running the court for easy layups. Solid with the ball, she had no problem dribbling through traffic on the way to the basket. Max effort player that moves her feet well and never gives up on a play.
