Tough, slashing guard who brought veteran leadership to UVA
Paulisha Kellum’s profile at Virginia was built on resilience and two-way guard play: she returned from serious knee injuries to become a steady contributor, and in the 2009-10 season she averaged 5.8 points per game while earning tournament MVP honors at the Junkanoo Jam after a 25-point outing. Virginia described her as a “slashing combo guard” who could post up smaller defenders, and she also delivered in clutch moments, including a game-winner at Boston College in the 2009-10 season. If you want a tough, experienced guard with composure and edge, she’s a pretty sharp fit.
