Denali has an intimidating stature, but plays the game so well and smooth. Nice touch from the mid range, the strength and motor to finish with contact, and the team first mentality to run after every loose ball (almost crashed into us). A versatile three level threat that is no where near her potential. At state, both games showed a completely different DCE, the first game wasn’t her best, but she kept at it (confident). Game 2 .. the kid finished with 16pts, 19rebs (almost an even split on both sides), 5stls, 4asts, & 3 blocks. She is as well rounded as it gets. Her talents will be put on display next year at Western Michigan, and I will definitely be keeping a look on her career. A bright future ahead for her.

Coming into the season as a potential POTY. DCE has put up strong numbers to fight that case, and hold an argument. This trip to Redbird Arena might solidify even more reasons why she should be heavily considered. From a skill view, there’s not much that she can’t do. Three level scorer, perimeter and post defender, and can play off the ball. The Western Michigan commit is ready to bring all of that talent to the big state this weekend. She’s one part of an elite dynamic duo that can put pressure on a team from start to finish.. a state ring is not far fetch. 

The recent Western Michigan commit checks the board when it comes to having a wide ranged skillset. Her size, patience and IQ makes her an immediate mismatch for guards. Scoring and playmaking wise she can do that all levels. Her vision and awareness of the court is what sticks out to me the most. She has quick instincts and the IQ  to always make the best decision. The senior guard will definitely continue her standout summer season  into her last year of high school ball.
