Delafosse is unique in so many ways, starting with her being a “long and athletic” guard, which is the base. She blows by defenders from the wing, yet she also uses her height to score over defenders around the basket. Watching her play the passing lane and attack or dish off the dribble was one thing, but she also stopped on a dime and dropped the jumper after the steal as well

Delafosse is coming off a great club season, and seeing her continue to blossom on the court as a player has been fun to watch. She’s a “long and athletic” guard with a very nice first step to attack and finish, yet her doing it acrobatically after contact, as well as dropping the pull-up jumper, was special see evaluations here

Delafoose is the definition of long and lengthy. She gives her team the ability to stretch the floor as she can and will hit the outside jumper. But she also has a solid shot fake she uses to step in and shoot the mid range down over smaller opponents meaning the defense has to play her honest.

Delafosse is a “long and athletic” guard who creates her shot well under pressure to drop the jumper, mid to long-range. She also has the slight HEZ to get the defender off balance and score off the dribble, she plays the passing lane and her court vision across the board is solid

Delafosse is becoming a nightmare to defend because she’s a “long and athletic” guard who is handling the ball like a yo-yo and peep this, her zig-zagging by defenders to score was on display, she even finished with either hand, off-balance, and after contact.
