Here’s Katie Smith on Cierra Dillard: “The last two years has put herself on the map, making that run last year in the tournament and also this year. She is just an uncanny way of being able to get her shot off without necessarily elevating on her shots, her range, different finishes, but she’s also a really exceptional passer, so she just has great vision and basketball IQ.

“Obviously defensively, again, a lot of these kids have to be on the floor for their teams to be successful. It’s being able to keep people in front, and that will be something to really see if she can do that. But I think offensively she knows how to play the game and knows how to get shots off, over taller people, quicker folks, but she really has made a name for herself. But again, it’s going to be tough to make a team, depending on where she goes, who they have in the spots. But I’m sure she’ll compete and give it everything she needs and just show what she can do.”
