Here’s Derek Fisher on Maite Cazorla: “I’ll jump in real quick. I’m afraid to say it on this call because I don’t want to draw more attention to her, but I like Maite a lot. I think obviously Sabrina [Ionescu] gets a lot of the attention, but I think Maite is one of those players that literally on any basketball team she would have an impact because of her ability to make decisions with the basketball, her ability to shoot, in terms of catch-and-shoot without the ball. But just high IQ and adds a lot of value to a really successful team. I think she has a bright future. I don’t know where she’ll fall in terms of the draft, but for us, we have 7, 19 and 31. She’s definitely on our radar, and we’ll see what happens on draft day.”
