If she adds a bit of consistency at the free throw line, she will become one of Georgia’s most reliable interior scorers.

Her quick lateral movements along with her elite-level length make her a prospect that defensive minded coaches would love to utilize. Offensively, she works both in the middle third of the court as a play finisher while also being able to face up from the corner as a driver.
