Nakia Boston brings scoring juice and defensive edge to Portland State
Nakia Boston, a Portland State guard, has flashed the profile of a tough, versatile backcourt contributor: she was praised as a senior recruit for being able to score “knocking down 3’s or attacking the basket” and for bringing “tough defender” energy with real intensity[4]. In her return from injury during the 2022-23 season, she played in four games and showed she could still impact possessions with rebounding, assists, and steals, which is the kind of two-way glue-game value coaches love[1][7]. If you need a guard who competes hard, can create offense, and won’t shrink from defensive assignments, she fits the bill.
