veteran guard with proven floor-general chops
Natasha Starkes stands out as a combo guard who can score, create, and pressure the ball, with Southeast Missouri’s roster bio noting she averaged 9.7 points, 4.3 assists, and 2.0 steals while shooting 41.0% from three in her last junior-college season before arriving in Cape Girardeau in 2002-03. Her differentiator is two-way steadiness: she was described as a player who can “lift an entire team on her shoulders,” which fits a team looking for toughness, pace control, and a connector guard rather than a pure volume scorer.
