Francis also did a good job on both ends in the interior because she understands how to use her frame on both ends. She’s even stronger, so battling for rebounds isn’t a contest on the offensive or defensive side, and she also showed improved “hands and footwork” to finish, after contact included. Her defense has also shot up, along with her court vision

Francis uses her frame on both ends of the court, and her skillset continues to impress me. Yeah, the hands and footwork look good but she understands the importance of keeping the ball high and getting the outlet going. Her interior defense and rebounding were solid, but seeing her score off the dribble had me smiling

Francis has also become more agile on both ends of the court and seeing her move her feet to defend, both in and outside the paint, as well as use her length to alter shots was nice. She hit the boards on both ends of the court and also did a good job seeing the floor as well as getting the outlet going. She’s strong and showed contact was irrelevant on her finishes

Francis is more fluid and toned, and she shows versatility on both ends of the court. Her defense inside the paint was strong yet she stepped outside of it to guard her man and when you add “she played the passing lane” that should give you an idea. She rebounded and ran the floor on both ends, her timing to block shots multiple times was nice and she finished strongly around the basket

Francis also is in a position to rise in the rankings. I’ve seen her a few times this season and she added something in each sighting. Here’s the deal, she stands ABOVE “the magic number” and she has a “college-ready frame” and even though she’s rebounding on both ends and defending in the paint, she’s showing signs of being dominant on both ends
