“Kyiah is a tough matchup because she’s a true three-level scorer with a strong build that allows her to play through contact. She plays the game with a lot of confidence, which makes her very dangerous when the ball is in her hands. On top of that, she’s a competitor who’s willing to do whatever it takes to win.”
Kennedi Simien
