The Down Low
Neah is a young player with a high ceiling. She has made her name with her athleticism and defense, as a player who can guard any position on the court. In particular, she is tasked with being pest for the other team's sharpshooters, because she is so great at perimeter defense. Oh, and she can dunk, too.
In an interview, she said that she once considered leaving the basketball grind, but realized that "This is too fun to give up." Which is great for WNBA fans, because she is a ton of fun to watch.
