Beltrand is fun to watch and probably one of my favorite “finds” for the month of January. She is a crafty 6 rotation outside with a wicked swing and impressive vertical that can hit an array of shots from both pins and out of the backcourt. Her defense is equally good. This girl moves in the backcourt and is able to dig up many attacks and also run down many balls from end line to end line. Great skills + immense hustle = fantastic player.
