"I think one of the things that Kiki's been able to do is have different kinds of scoring catches this year because of Charlisse's presence on our team."
"Her assist numbers have dropped since the addition of Charlisse Leger-Walker, but that's allowed Rice to create her own offense."
"One evaluator said her ability to play with a 'group of weapons' has set herself up to be taken seriously for a larger role even as a rookie."
Kiki Rice, a senior guard from UCLA, is projected to be a top WNBA draft pick, possibly as high as No. 5 overall.
