Irene Garcia brings size, international seasoning, and upside to La Salle’s backcourt
In the 2024-25 season, freshman guard Irene Garcia appeared in 18 games for La Salle and posted 0.4 points, 0.7 rebounds, and 0.1 assists per game while shooting 62.5% at the line, a tiny stat line that still hints at a 6'1" guard with legitimate perimeter size and developmental upside[1][5]. Her appeal is less about box-score production and more about profile: she arrived from Madrid after playing for Real Canoe and competing in Spain’s U18 national championship game, which suggests a polished, high-level basketball background and a player comfortable with real competition[3][13]. For a team, that makes her a low-usage, long-term upside piece rather than an immediate stat-sheet star[1][3].
