the high-IQ Kiwi guard who brings boards, assists, and edge
Zara Jillings is a proven, versatile guard for Fordham whose value goes beyond scoring: as a freshman in the 2017-18 season, she played in all 34 games, made six starts, shot 38.5% from the field, and ranked among the Rams’ leaders in assists (52) and offensive rebounds (32), with a breakout eight-assist game that showed her playmaking instincts. Her game profile suggests a tough, team-first connector who rebounds well for her position and can steady an offense, making her a smart fit for a system that values pace, pressure defense, and unselfishness.
