Q. What strengths, qualities or skills will you bring or add to a WNBA team?
"I'd
say leadership is my greatest strength and being able to push the tempo. I love
to get in the transition game and play a faster pace than most people like to.
I really enjoy holding people defenmsively, playing against the best and locking
them up. Another strength of mine is just staying consistent as a point guard,
running the offense and posing a threat offensively by making others better."
Q.
What skills do you feel you still need to improve or work on at the next level?
"The
WNBA is known for its physical play. I like to play that way, though I could not
get away with it too much in college. I look forward to doing it at the next level.
I also just need to keep improving offensively. I have to work on keeping my shot
accurate and my knowledge of the game sharp. As a rookie, I expect to learn from
the veterans."
Q. Are there any specific teams you would like to
play for?
"Maybe the Sparks so I can be close to my mom. I also like
New York and the Comets and teams that like to get up and down."
Q.
Is there a current WNBA player you look up to?
"Teresa Edwards. I
love the way she plays, her dedication to sport and her defensive play. She is
not the flashy type, but knows the game and how to make everyone better. She could
carry a team or step up when she needed and always knew her role as a player.
I really admire her."
Q. What will you remember most about your
college experience?
"That we made it to the Final Four all four years.
Another memory that stuck was when we finally beat Connecticut at UConn this past
year, my senior year. We finally beat them to break the streak. That was a great
feeling. Also, it was great to be a part of Coach Summitt's history-making wins."
Q. Which of your fellow WNBA Draft prospects will make the most immediate
impact in the League?
"Tan White is so versatile and can do everything:
pass, score, shoot, make others better. She is a complete player and teams want
people like her. In the post, Janel McCarville is a passing in the threat. Sandora
Irvin also has a presence in the inside game."
Q. Which of your
fellow WNBA Draft prospects will win WNBA Rookie of the Year?
"Tan
White."
Q. What WNBA player are you most looking forward to
playing against or meeting?
"Becky Hammon. I like the way she plays.
I got to see her play in a league down in Knoxville a few years ago."
Q.
Do you have a favorite NBA player or team?
"Steve Nash is my man,
just a complete player."
