gets comfortable with the uncomfortable very easily, as there isn’t an ounce of panic in her veins. Knocking down a lights-out 60% of her looks from the field, Gordon is the perfect space-creating commander any coach would be thankful to have lead their team. The 5’8 sophomore also comes away with nearly 2 SPG and 12 PPG, highlighting her 2-way excellence. On a struggling 11-7 Buffaloes squad, Gordon looks to get them back on track this month.

A dynamic wing/guard, Leilani does a little bit of everything at a high level. She applies pressure full court, defends multiple positions, and attacks the rim with confidence. Her ability to finish through contact while also knocking down the three keeps defenses guessing. Leilani’s combination of skill, effort, and consistency makes her one of the most well-rounded players newly added to the rankings.

Gordon is technically a guard but has the skill set of a post, which makes her a tough matchup. She can score against smaller defenders in the paint while also turning away shots on the defensive end. Offensively, she has a smooth game with a quick-release three and an effective in-between jumper.

is a swiss army knife as a player. She is averaging 5ppg through the first four, including a big output against Colorado Academy where she scored seven of her ten points in the second half to help secure the win. However, she also slashes to the rim with confidence and is a willing passer with good vision (3apg). It’s obvious Leilani is very talented and has a bright future ahead in this game.
