veteran Seattle U guard with a defensive edge
Claire Metoyer is a veteran Seattle U guard whose calling card has been defense, poise, and steady point-guard play; in the 2016-17 season, she started 32 games, averaged 5.1 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists, and was named the team’s Most Outstanding Defensive Player. Her value goes beyond the box score: she consistently impacted games with steals, shot-blocking for a guard, and reliable free-throw shooting, which makes her the kind of gritty, high-IQ piece coaches love.
