North Texas guard with true point-guard instincts and veteran touch
Yari Escalera is a Puerto Rico-born guard whose profile has long fit a real floor-general mold: the kind of player who sees the game early, handles pressure, and keeps an offense organized with poise. Her college résumé notes she was a true point guard and, in the 2005-06 season at Colorado, she was hitting 81.9% from the free-throw line while adding perimeter pop with 23 made threes in her final 12 games. That mix of steadiness, shooting, and control is exactly why a team would care: she looks like a connector, not just a scorer, and that usually translates well if the fit needs composure and structure.
