Head coach Kelly Graves on Tuhina: Astera has tremendous instincts and basketball IQ. Her creativity, toughness and grittiness will fit in perfectly with our team, and her relentlessness and passion are second to none. She’s a pass-first point guard but she’s not afraid to step back and knock down the three. Her energy is contagious, and I think our fans will love how she plays the game. Astera should make an immediate impact on our roster.
