NCCU’s steady shot-maker and secondary playmaker
Shanise Blanks was a reliable guard for North Carolina Central, best known for stretching defenses with her three-point shooting and adding occasional playmaking—she posted games with 5 threes for 15 points and 5 assists in 2010-11, and multiple double-figure scoring outings. Her value shows up in the little things too: she could handle pressure, chip in assists, and provide instant offense without needing the ball every possession. For a team needing a poised perimeter threat with selfless, low-drama energy, she looks like the kind of guard who makes the offense hum.
