WNBA Comparison: Leilani Mitchell                   WDN Score: 0                 WDN Rank: 55

Strengths: More of a combo guard than a pure two-guard; has shown the ability to hit the outrange shot with regularity; comfortable in the open floor; creative off the dribble; makes smart decisions in halfcourt sets; threads the needle a lot; scrappy defender; solid rebounder; nice handle; smart shot selection;
 
Weaknesses: Needs to get bigger/stronger to be a true WNBA prospect, but should get a look due to skill; does not play in a strong conference; will need to adjust to not being the prime scorer; at times, she's a risky passer to her teams disadvantage; needs to work on consistency of three point shooting;
