Two-way combo guard with clutch instincts
Joya Crawford flashed real value as a freshman for Cincinnati in 2025-26, averaging 5.7 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.2 steals in 24 games, with highlights that point to a competitive, disruptive guard who can change momentum on both ends. Her differentiators are defensive playmaking and timely offense: she delivered the game-winning steal and score in Cincinnati’s comeback over Arizona State and hit a season-high 18 points against Oklahoma State. At 5'8", she profiles as an energetic combo guard who fits best with teams that value toughness, pressure defense and a player who does the little winning plays.[2][1]
