Southards plays the point guard position with a level of polish that’s rare for her age. She controls tempo, makes smart decisions, and consistently looks to involve her teammates. Strong and poised, she navigates through traffic with confidence and finishes with either hand at the rim. She can score when needed—whether with mid-range pull-ups or from beyond the arc—but her ability to facilitate is what stands out. She rebounds exceptionally well for her position and defends with physicality without fouling. A complete guard with a very high ceiling.
