Laia Crespín brings spark, on-ball energy, and rookie upside to VCU’s backcourt
As a freshman guard for VCU, Laia Crespín has already shown she can contribute as a steady, low-usage connector with active defense and enough shot-making to stretch the floor. In the 2025-26 season, she has produced modest scoring but useful all-around minutes, including a 14-point, five-rebound outing noted by the Atlantic 10, while ESPN’s game log shows she has also chipped in steals, assists, and free-throw reliability in limited action. Her size is a constraint at 5'5", but her quickness, competitiveness, and ability to fit into a guard-heavy system make her an intriguing developmental fit.[1][4][13]
