What Coach Whitaker is saying about Emma Palmer
“Emma brings a physicality in the low block that will help our team tremendously on both ends of the court! She also has the ability to play with her back to the basket and has great touch around the rim. Emma is also an aggressive rebounder and will be a great paint protector defensively. I look forward to watching her develop and having the opportunity to coach her!”
