Daena has a strong, muscular build, athleticism, instincts as a facilitator, and versatility that make her a very promising guard prospect in the U.P. She switched hands comfortably off the dribble and shielded the ball with her body from reaching defenders. Daena drove through a defender, absorbed the contact, protected the ball, and finished strong off two in the 1v1 segment. That translated directly to the games. Daena scored a sweet fake-pass layup after changing hands in traffic, pushed the ball up the court with both hands after securing rebounds, and scanned the floor for open teammates with her eyes up. Daena fired a long skip pass on a rope to a cutter for an assist and took a rebound coast-to-coast with pace, scoring with her left through contact at the rim. She hasn’t hit her ceiling yet. Daena was a Top Performer and made a great first impression at the Zero Star Showcase.
