Blate is heady and takes good shots, and watching her not only create her shot under pressure, but also show she could drop it while being defended was nice. Her pull-up jumper looked good; she even showed the step back to drop it. She attacked the basket to score or dish; her crossover looked good, but she saw the floor well in the set as well as in the open court. Her “on the ball” defense was solid as she brought heat on both ends of the court and helped force turnovers
