Howard’s steady playmaking guard who still looks like a passing-first spark
Ebony Lacey is a 5-foot-4 guard whose standout trait has long been her distributor’s mindset: in the 2005 season, she averaged 4.1 assists per game, ranking among the better assist guards in the available data, while also contributing 6.2 points per game[1]. She was described as Howard’s assist leader, which fits the film-room view of a guard who makes an offense hum rather than just hunting her own shot[3]. The catch: her perimeter scoring was limited, with a 13% three-point mark in that same season, so she fits best with a team that values tempo, setup, and low-drama table-setting over high-volume scoring[1].
