If you’re the opponent, you don’t want Rhyan picking you up! She defends the entire length of the court and is a master pock-picker. Disrupting the passing lanes is something she thrives on, forcing the turnover and completing the play at her basket. She continues adding to her bag offensively, now incorporating a more ambidextrous finish, able to finish with her left consistently and confidently.

Rhyan has strong anticipation on defense and consistently finds ways to generate steals. She is an unselfish player who is always willing to make the extra pass to create a better opportunity for a teammate. Rhyan also does a good job drawing contact when attacking the basket, using her body to initiate contact and create space on her way to the rim.

Rhyan had a productive showing during the live period in Atlantic City, displaying her versatility on both ends of the floor. She shot the ball well from deep, spotting up on the wing and knocking down threes with a smooth stroke. Rhyan also operated effectively in the pick-and-roll, delivering accurate passes to cutting teammates in stride. Defensively, she moved her feet well and consistently stayed in front of opposing guards.

Light on her feet but explosive on the dribble penetration. Pretty lefty scoop layup. She was so good at finishing at the rim through contact vs a BCRI team that came to compete.
