plays for the MCW Starz 2026 S40 team. Vanessa’s frame and skill combination make her dangerous in multiple roles: she can bring up the ball, push in transition, but also post up smaller defenders. Her AAU ball handling and finishing through contact stand out, showing she’s not afraid to mix it up inside. Defensively, her size lets her guard both perimeter players and forwards, and her instincts help her in help-defense and on switches. At the high school level, she projects to be a two-way focal point: someone who can initiate offense, rebound, and make winning plays. She brings a maturity and physicality that helps her navigate traffic, plus a strong competitive mindset. Even though she is young, she will already be on many college scouts radars in the upcoming season.
