Laila Phelia brings efficient scoring punch and two-way guard toughness to Syracuse
Phelia is a 6-foot senior guard who can tilt a game with scoring bursts, including a career-high 38 points against Virginia this season on efficient shooting. She also adds strong secondary value as a rebounder, defender, and pressure creator, with proven steal production and the ability to get to the free-throw line. Her transfer pedigree from Michigan and Texas suggests a polished, high-usage guard who can handle responsibility in big moments, making her a strong fit for a team that needs an experienced, competitive perimeter scorer.
