WHO IS OUR GLUE GIRL?

A Glue Girl is hard to define but easy to spot.

You certainly won't pick her out by reading the stat sheet. She's the girl who sets screens, dives for loose balls and makes the extra pass.

She embraces the chance to defend the opponent's best player and doesn't complain that she's not getting enough shots.

She is a leader and a good teammate. She has an unusual combination of skills, like a big who can shoot or a guard who gets rebounds.

And lest you think that naming someone a Glue Girl is throwing faint praise on her, she also demonstrates at times that she could be a featured performer if called upon.

Why does she suppress those abilities? Because that's what her team needs, and it's a Glue Girl's job to hold everything together.
