A steady, high-IQ floor general who’s long been a Penguins engine
Indiya Benjamin stands out as a classic lead guard: in the 2015-16 season she was already known for elite playmaking, ranking second in the Horizon League with 5.0 assists per game and pairing that with a strong .418 3-point percentage, the best by a Penguin in 13 years[1]. Her game is built on pace control, passing vision, and shot-making from deep, which makes her valuable to teams that want an organizer rather than just a scorer[1]. The main watchout is durability—she has dealt with injuries before, so a fit that values her leadership and minimizes wear-and-tear is the sweet spot[1].
