While she is certainly an elite downhill driver, she will need to increase her shooting volume from beyond the arc to fully maximize her offensive upside.

Standing right around 5’6, the combo guard brings varsity level pedigree as a shooter, both off the catch and from movement. Given her shooting gravity, opposing teams often stretch themselves out to the perimeter, of which VanSickle does well using the opponent’s positioning to create driving lanes.
