steady, experienced Rice guard with real playmaking chops
Gooden is a seasoned Rice backcourt piece whose value goes beyond scoring: in the 2023-24 season she averaged 2.4 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 31 games, and her career-high six assists plus multiple three-plus-assist outings show she can help organize an offense rather than just fill a lane[5]. Her advanced profile also suggests a low-mistake, defense-aware guard with solid ball movement for her role, making her a fit for teams that want experience, composure and connective play more than high-usage shot creation[3][5].
