The 5-foot-10 King, who also played AAU basketball for New Heights NYC, holds a distinct advantage over her opponents, given her athletic nature and left-handed scoring ability.

She averaged 10.7 points, 2.5 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 2.3 steals per game in 34 contests across three high school seasons, per MaxPreps.com.
