does a great job creating quality looks for herself and her teammates, showing strong court vision and decision-making. She plays with great pace and control, consistently breaking down defenses and finding the open player. When she attacks the lane, her soft touch on the floater is a major weapon—able to glide it over defenders with ease. Shaniah’s ability to facilitate and finish makes her a dynamic playmaker and a steady presence on the floor.
