Introducing...Shalee Lehning
Point guard are always of need when it comes to the WNBA, and there's one that's standing out in the Little Apple. For years, Shalee Lehning has led the Wildcats both on and off the court. Kansas State head coach Deb Patterson said Shalee "is as good a player as I've ever had the opportunity to coach. Different, but as good as any I've had. Intensity beyond description and a heart as big as a planet." Lehning's game is not something you see everyday. She's a very physical player who will battle with anyone. Her ability to create plays for both herself, as well as others, is uncanny. And her ability to rebound as if she's a foot taller leads Deb Patterson to nickname Lehning as a 'throwback player.' ESPN.com even named her as one of the Top 5 point guards this season. Lehning leads her team in assists, field goal percentage and rebounds per game. Not to mention that she's already had four triple doubles and the nation's assist leader. There's an element about Shalee that intrigues people, even Texas head coach Gale Goestenkors. "She's one of the best point guards in America," Goestenkors noted, "For some reason she has been under the radar but I would put her up against any guard in the country."
