Girardi comes from good stock. (Daughter of Joe Girardi) Lena believes she’s the best player on the floor every time she takes the floor. She competes on every possession and is a big strong physical wing. She is a great teammate who possesses great leadership qualities. She is at her best when she can get people on her hip and get to the rim. Her physicality and offensive rebounding ability get her to the free-throw line frequently. She has the face-up mid-range game as well. Her handle is good and can run pick and roll. She has the ability to create her own at times. She posts smaller guards on offense and battles verse bigs in the low post when defending. Where Girardi needs to improve is her foot speed. She isn’t a jet and vs length and athleticism she might struggle to get people on her hip. Her shooting can improve especially from three. She tends to dip the ball and her knees which make her shot take time. She doesn’t have much of a mid-range pull-up either. One of the top options on the wing in the 25’ class.
