11. Isis Lopes

Name: Isis Lopes
Position: Guard

Isis shows good athleticism and is a good passer with above average handles, but right now she is a streaky shooter. A year in Junior College would be beneficial for her game before going back to Division 1.

The question for Snyder at the Division 1 level is how well will she be able to handle the pressure of longer and more athletic small forward players she will be going up against.
