Aarika Howard brings size, experience, and proven all-around value for Troy
In the 2012-13 season, Aarika Howard gave Troy a high-IQ frontcourt option: 6-foot-3, physical, and productive enough to average 6.6 points per game while leading the team with 108 assists and ranking fourth in the Sun Belt in assists. Her calling card was versatility—she could score, facilitate, and protect possession with a strong 1.33 assist-to-turnover ratio, plus she posted a 15-point, 12-assist double-double and had a 19-point career high that season. For a team needing a smart, steady connector with veteran feel, she’s a useful fit.
