Strengths: A slashing, on-the-ball SG who can put up major scoring numbers; can carry a team offensively and has shown on-court leadership abilities; excellent anticipation on defense; strong in transition in both scoring and passing roles; very quick release on jumper; creates her own shot well; solid handle; good free throw shooter; known as a smart player.
 
Weaknesses: Needs to work on shot selection because height could be a factor in the pros; rushes offense at times, especially when struggling; a very hot and cold shooter, sometimes within games; becomes a bit too shot happy from outside instead of driving; can commit her fair share of turnovers; needs work on consistency from beyond the arc.
