Mercer’s old-school glue guard with defensive bite and winning habits
Kayla Potts built her Mercer reputation as a steady, do-everything guard: in the 2017-18 season she appeared in all 32 games, averaged 4.0 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals, and shot 49.1% from the field, with a season-best six steals in one game. Her value wasn’t flashy scoring; it was toughness, versatility, and impact plays on defense, plus enough ball skill to keep the offense moving. If you want a low-drama, high-IQ competitor who can raise your team’s intensity, she’s exactly that kind of fit.
