Bolds has the right last name. When I factor in her college-ready frame and powerful moves inside the paint, she made a BOLD statement that she has the potential to be hard to handle around the basket. She stands above “the magic number,” and her “hands and footwork” set the stage for her to score with either hand. She also did a good job defending both inside and outside the paint
