the shot-making Gamecock with poise, pop, and big-game polish
Te-Hina Paopao is a polished, high-IQ guard who brought South Carolina veteran leadership, elite spacing, and steady two-way value in her final Gamecock season; in the 2024-25 season, she averaged 9.6 points, 2.9 assists, and shot 37.1% from three over 38 starts, while the program also recognized her as a 2025 All-America honorable mention and a two-time All-SEC Second Team selection[1][2]. Her game translates because she doesn’t just shoot it—she reads defenses, keeps the offense organized, and competes with a calm edge that coaches love. If your team needs a guard who can stretch the floor, make the right pass, and handle pressure without getting sped up, she’s a very good fit.
