“She’s efficient in everything she does,” Staley said. “Her IQ is off the charts. She plays at her own pace. She’s incredibly efficient. She makes the right basketball plays. That is what makes her special. I’m hoping that somebody is able to make her into something that she hasn’t been all season, which is not very efficient. That’s a hard feat.
