Laila Hankerson is a sneaky-valuable backcourt piece with upside beyond the box score
In the 2024-25 season, Colgate guard Laila Hankerson played limited minutes, but the profile is intriguing: she brought guard skills, rebounding effort, and shot-making flashes, including a first career double-double in 2025 with 12 points and 11 rebounds. She has a compact 5'6" frame, strong Charlotte prep pedigree, and a multi-sport background that hints at competitiveness and burst. The fit question is less about volume and more about upside: if you want a gritty, athletic guard who can help in energy minutes and keep developing as a perimeter threat, she’s worth a look.
