Strengths
Leader – Even as a young player, being a positive leader on and off the court has come natural to Diaz.
Speed – Diaz has elite straight line speed.
Court Awareness – Diaz seems to have eyes in the back of her head when on the court. She instinctively sees all the action.
Defense – She is an excellent on ball defender and has a solid grasp of defensive rotations.
Unselfish – Diaz doesn’t have to score to make a difference. She’s more than willing to feed the hot hand.
Rebounding – Diaz attacks the glass from the perimeter.
All Around Athleticism – Diaz is a multi sport star. As a freshman she broke a school record on the 200m and qualified for, and finished top in the state. Diaz was top 5 in the Long Jump. She also plays volleyball at Hudsonville.
Areas To Improve
Talk more offensively – Diaz wants to be more vocal on this end. This would help her when directing traffic as a point guard.
Drive when she sees an opening – It’s not that she doesn’t do it, she does and does it well. If Diaz could do this continuously she would add another huge weapon.

What Are You Looking For In A School And Coach At The Next Level?
“I really liked how MSU felt like a family when I toured the campus. The coaching staff is very personal and it felt like home. Family. A coach that trusts me and makes me work to my greatest potential. That’s what I look for in a coach and teammates that want to win! The school obviously has to have my major which I would like to go into the dental field as of now.” – Alaina Diaz
