If you need a player who can extend the floor and get to the rim on her own, Leah can do it. She is a lengthy wing who can be effective on both sides of the ball. Defensively, she plays with a solid amount of aggression, and her length helps her recover if she gets beat off the ball. Offensively, she is a knockdown shooter who can get hot quickly after a couple of made buckets.

With length and the ability to shoot the ball from beyond the arc at a high clip, Gilbertson’s stock is trending upwards. Defensively she can be just as impactful as she as on offense. She has the length to recover if a guard gets by, and the wingspan to contain bigger forwards if caught in the post. High potential.
