Princeton’s defense-first floor general with a knack for chaos
In the 2011–12 season, Lauren Polansky was Princeton’s Defensive Player of the Year and finished tied for second in the Ivy League with 2.4 steals per game, while also contributing 4.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists per contest[10]. Her calling card is disruptive, high-IQ guard play: she’s a pesky on-ball defender, a steady organizer, and the kind of teammate who raises the intensity level every possession[7][12]. That makes her especially appealing if you want a tough, defense-driven guard who impacts winning beyond scoring[3][10].
