River’s game is looking much improved, which says a lot since she had a great season last year. Sykes is scoring the ball well, being able to seal defenders deep in the paint and using elite footwork to get open shots. She can step out and hit mid-range and deep shots too so defenders can’t play lazy defense and sag off. Defensively, she anchors the paint in a big way by blocking shots often and dominating the glass.
