Onyenwere's problem is that she is basically the Uclan's post. They have a couple of taller players but they don't play. Horvat is 6'1" and helps out but she gets in foul trouble a lot and only averages about 20 minutes. Lauren Miller at 6'1" plays the center position for UCLA. Onyenwere really plays the 3 and guards the opposing team's best scorer regularly. Onyenwere simply has the physical tools to jump over taller players in the paint. Check out her 100m and 200m high school times on athletic.net to gain an appreciation of how good of an athlete she is. Now you have me curious! Pretty interesting history - Her dad was an Olympic track athlete, and Close saw here as an athlete with raw basketball skills: www.latimes.com/sports/ucla/story/2019-12-24/ucla-michaela-onyenwere-follows-father-footsteps-olympics-aspirationVery skilled HS track athlete - Long Jump and 400m also impressive PRs: co.milesplit.com/athletes/pro/3987145/statsDeveloped from a raw athlete to an efficient scorer - hard to root against a kid with that kind of work ethic. |

Good research. Her 100m, 200m, and 400m times often win state titles in most states across the country. You see her jumping ability during games, but don't fully appreciate her straight line speed on the court. She tends to glide past defenders. |
