Nikki Hegstetter, 6’1”, PF/SF

Her perimeter shooting is fairly accurate, but she is at her best as an offensive player when she can post on the block and play through contact. She plays with great energy and activity on the defensive side of the floor. Pairing up on a team with Raiygne Moncrief, Hegstetter was able to show her versatility on both sides of the court.

This weekend Johnson was able to put a good amount of work in on the low block and showed that while she still has some offensive polish to add to her game her ability to catch and make a strong post move is certainly there. Her ability to defend and rebound has been a constant since her freshman year in high school and remains her strongest asset.
