Santana brings upside on both ends of the floor, although her immediate impact defending the perimeter has been notable. Quick laterally while bringing active hands at the point of attack, her presence caused numerous turnovers or altering various shot attempts by opponents. Another area of value by the guard has been her willingness to attack the rim, dependable with her decision making even versus pressure. She showed value knocking down mid-range pull-ups when provided space, bringing a quick first step to dig into the lane.
