Player Profile
Emily Bessoir is a pick-and-pop power forward with deep range and a high release, operating mostly from the elbow and three-point line. From the high post, she relies on fake-and-go drives and connective passing. Her floor-spacing and passing fit the modern WNBA game, though sticking on a roster hinges on whether her lateral mobility holds up against dynamic forwards following two ACL tears.
