The Friars’ steady, high-usage guard with a proven all-around floor game
In the 2002-03 season, Keisha Blackwell was a full-time starter for Providence, averaging 6.1 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.4 steals in 29.8 minutes per game, which points to a guard trusted to run the show at both ends[1]. Her best calling cards were playmaking and disruptive defense, and earlier Providence stat lines show she could also create offense in bunches, including a 7-assist, 6-steal outing in 2001-02[1][2]. At 5-foot-6, she brings quickness, toughness, and intensity over size—useful for a team that wants a scrappy, perimeter-driven guard who competes every possession[1].
