physical, defense-first guard with shotmaking upside
Olivia Sims is a 5-9 guard for Valparaiso whose best calling card is her toughness: Valpo’s coaching staff praised her as a strong off-the-bounce scorer, a finisher with both hands, and a physical perimeter defender who likes to guard. In the 2023-24 season, she averaged 3.1 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 0.9 assists in 12.5 minutes per game, and ESPN listed her at 4.6 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 0.7 assists overall. She looks like a fit for a team that wants energy, edge, and defensive bite more than flash.
