promising international guard still finding her college groove
In the 2024-25 season, Northwestern State guard Laia Oliva played 22 games and posted modest production — 0.5 points, 0.8 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game — so the current tape says development project, not finished product[3][6][7]. The upside is the profile: a 5-foot-7 freshman guard from Barcelona who earned meaningful minutes, gives you ball-handling and connective playmaking, and has room to grow into a more efficient perimeter threat[3][4][7]. If you need instant scoring, she’s not the headline act yet; if you want a young, international guard with long-term polish potential and some sneaky “coach can trust her” energy, she’s worth a look[3][7].
