Yahaira has all the qualities of a traditional PG. She’s patient with her decisions, but can adjust to a face paced situation if needed. Great vision matched with the ball handling skills. Beyond the arc she’s confident and comfortable, and when she’s attacking the paint she puts pressure on the defense. Should be a building block piece for Lewis.

Coming in at 76, Bueno has tons of skill. Three level scorer, combo guard, and a locked in defender, who’s willing to take on the hard task. Yaya can switch in and out of facilitator/scorer every possession. Her ability to navigate through defenses while still being aware of what’s going on court is a skill within itself. She handles the ball well, and can run an offense with no problem.

Bueno turned a lot of heads at the Best of Michigan Holiday Classic. While she finished with a game high 18 points, it was her 2 way play that impressed me the most. Bueno was able to pressure opposing guards and made it tough to find a rhythm. She picked up a couple timely steals in the game. Bueno shot the ball very well from beyond the arc in the corners, especially off catch and shoots. She was able to play effectively at any pace, both setting the offense in the half court and getting out in transition with the dribble and the pass.

The play style of Yahira is a team necessity. Far from unselfish.. sometimes to unselfish. Yahira doesn’t make the right play.. she makes the high IQ play, and if you know this game, you know there’s a difference. Coming off a brutal injury, Bueno is still playing at a strong level. Offensively her game fills every statistical category. The passing is elite.. the vision, the feel and the IQ to see a play develop before it does… the kid can run an offense. The handles aren’t flashy, but she stays in control, gets where she needs to go and she stays strong.. even with pressure. One of my favorite players to watch, and she definitely was a crowd favorite this weekend.
