Head coach Kelly Graves on Cain: Avary is an impact player on both ends of the floor. Not only is she a gifted scorer who can create her own shot, but she is tenacious on the defensive end. Her length and athleticism are going to be impactful for us. Avary will fit in nicely with our current roster and only elevate our talent level. She is just scratching the surface of what type of player she can be, but we expect her to be a high-level player for us.
