Sydney Palma brings veteran guard savvy and disruptive defense to Grand Canyon
In the 2023-24 season, Sydney Palma’s value went well beyond her modest box score: after rehabbing from injury, she returned to appear in 14 games for Grand Canyon and gave the Lopes a steady, experienced 5-foot-8 guard who can create with the ball, rack up steals, and handle multi-positional backcourt duties. Her 2022-23 season showed the upside more clearly—6.9 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.3 steals per game, plus 41.0% shooting—so the fit is a smart, defense-first, competitive guard who can stabilize a rotation and make winning plays without needing the offense run through her.
