High-motor, disruptive guard with proven defensive instincts
Chaniese Turner brings a defensive-first edge to New Orleans, highlighted by a standout prep résumé that included 19.2 points and 5.7 steals per game as a senior at Flint Northern. Her calling card is pressure defense, quick hands, and a competitive intensity that can change the energy of a game even when the box score doesn’t fully capture it. That kind of pesty, possession-winning guard play is valuable for teams looking for toughness, pace, and backcourt disruption.
