"I
need to develop a stronger shooter's mentaility as well as work on shooting the
ball. I cannot be afraid to shoot, or at least I should shoot more than I have."

the biggest challenges at the next level?
"The physical nature of
the game is different at this level. It will definitely be a challenge for me.

putting on some pounds of muscle."

Q.
What will you remember most about your college experience?
"My teammates
and the teams I played with. All four teams were different. Just being around
them, I learned so much. That's what I'll remember and miss. I got to go to the
Championship game as a freshman... I was lucky."
Q. Which of your
fellow WNBA Draft prospects do you think will be the first pick taken?
"Janel
McCarville."
Q. What WNBA player are you most looking forward to
playing against or meeting?
"I am most looking forward to re-connecting
with Niele Ivey. She was my sister's best friend growing up. She's older and we
did not play together in high school, but I would love to play with her or against
her in a real game. I love her game."
Q. How about a favorite NBA
player?
"Allen Iverson. He is the best, most underrated player. He
doesn't get the respect he deserves."
