Elaine McCants brings veteran backcourt savvy and true point-guard instincts to Louisiana
In the 2007 season, Elaine McCants was a 5-foot-6 senior point guard for Louisiana who gave the Cajuns experience, ball-handling, and shot-making potential rather than raw size, and earlier in her career she flashed poise with Providence, averaging 3.5 points per game in 2002–03. Her differentiator is craft: she’s described as a guard who can attack and shoot, with a gritty path through multiple colleges that suggests resilience, but she also carried a serious injury history after a 2005 car accident that required elbow surgery. If a team wants a steady, savvy floor general with edge, she fits the mold.
