I get the comparison, which Sarah’s perimeter shooting certainly suggests. But physically speaking, Sarah is much stronger than Kaleena was and has a good deal more foot speed. Kaleena struggled to keep faster guards in front of her on defense, but knew her defensive assignments well enough that this wasn’t catastrophic. Sarah won’t have this problem in part because she’s quicker, but also because she’ll often be guarding 4s and 5s rather than the speediest guards. Once she gets up to speed on her defensive assignments she will be formidable.

One thing I noticed in the few longer clips of her high school play I’ve managed to find is that Sarah uses that perimeter shot to spread the floor and set up other aspects of her game and that of others. Often she’ll take a quick, almost preemptive 3 from the top of the key one time down the floor, and the next few times the defense is much softer for her passing game or driving the lane. She’s a very strategic thinker on the court.
