Love the dawg in her on the court, but also really warm and friendly off the court

Glad that she has found a home here, and will now hopefully get a Cal degree. Will be wondering how she will be used this year.

Charmin said in her interview that the summer months will be focused on development of the individual skills of each player. Would be great to have a Bear Insider article on what each player will be working on.

At the banquet I asked Naya if she would play forward. She said yes and mentioned she would work on ball handling and 3-point shooting. I'd be happy to see improvements in passing and midrange shooting. She shot .696 on FT so I think the latter is attainable. Didn't seem like she had the green light this past season.

Williams chart of players and positions had Naya at both forward and center.
