Graves on Falatea: Nani is a knock-down shooter and extremely skilled passer. She has the ability to take defenders off the dribble and create for teammates. Three-point shooting is something we struggled with last season and that’s where Nani can help us improve. Her maturity and leadership abilities will be a welcome addition to the locker room and our staff is so excited to get her here and on the court.
