“I think you find out who you are as a player when it’s taken away from you, and I think you find out how much you really love the game and how much you’re really willing to work for it and how much pain you’re willing to go through,” Ducharme said. “Rehab and the mental side of it, how much you’re really willing to do to get back on the court. And for me, I was willing to do anything to get back on the court.”
"Like many elite basketball prospects, Ducharme learned to be a guard first, then hit her growth spurt. The results of her guard training are obvious in her game. While she’s taller than most of her opponents, Ducharme makes footwork look effortless. She creates space and squares up from far behind the 3-point line, both off the dribble and off the catch. Around the rim, she is unbothered by contests and can finish with either hand. As ESPN’s scouting report put it in 2020, she has a “scorer’s mentality.”
