She grabbed steals on the other end to push the other direction and took care of business through contact. She snuck inside crashing boards to grab the rebound, and she used offensive boards for some putbacks. For her season opener, she dropped 27 points making sure there’s no drop off from a dominant season last year.

She has some range with her shot knocking it down from deep. On defense, she can guard around the perimeter or battle in the paint to maintain her position. She follows shots well knowing how they will fall to grab the rebound. She did a lot of clean up on the glass grabbing offensive rebounds and scoring off of those.
