Nika can accomplish anything. The only one on the team besides Griff that plays both sides to the max.

This is why if I was the GM of a WNBA team, she would go in the top 5 in first round !!! Plus her skill as a control guard, on D or O can not be matched!!!

She has a tattoo on her neck? She’s badass

Nika, junkyard dog, chews up the opposition. Have a great year girl!!
