Player Profile
A prospect for the 2028 WNBA Draft and the youngest member of the 2024 Canadian Olympic team, Syla Swords is a versatile scoring threat for Michigan. She possesses a highly fundamental offensive skill set, with a fluid catch-and-shoot stroke. She is not afraid to take big shots, frequently converting contested jumpers late in the clock or in high-pressure situations. Defensively, she uses her size to disrupt smaller guards, but her primary on-court identity remains tied to her fearless shot-making ability.
