Athletically, James has not only thrived as a basketball player, but also on the volleyball court as well. James has shown herself to be an accurate 3-point shooter and brings a heads-up attitude to every game she plays on both the offensive and defensive ends.

James primarily plays the two while standing at 5-foot-6 and scored six points with four rebounds and three steals in that game at the conclusion of last season.
