Deanna Kuzmanic

Alloyfold Canterbury Wildcats (WBC) landed 24-year old Puerto Rican international guard Deanna Kuzmanic (175-96, college: UAB). She has a double citizenship as she also holds American passport. The last time (19) she played at Atenienses de Manati in Puerto Rican BSNF.
Kuzmanic also represented Puerto Rico at the Panamerican Games in Lima (Peru) last year. Her team won Bronze and her stats at that event were 5 games: 0.6ppg.
Kuzmanic graduated from University of Alabama at Birmingham in 2019 and it will be her second season in pro basketball.
Let's have closer look into Her outlook: Deanna is long guard at 5?10 that can score in a variety of ways. She is a knock down 3-point shooter whether spotting up, coming off various screens or in transition and shoots at a very high percentage (40% or higher). She has a knack for getting in the lane to create scoring opportunities for herself or passing out to an open teammate for an open look. She is an amazing decision maker and is like having another PG on the floor. What separates her from a lot of guards is her mid-range game whether going right or left to create a shot for herself or kick outs to teammates. In addition to being a prolific scorer, she has a unique gift for getting steals on the defensive end and converting them into easy baskets for her team. She takes great pride in guarding the other team?s best offensive player and has an outstanding concept of team defense. Deanna is the consummate team player, is an incredible leader and only knows one way to play and that?s all out every second she is on the floor whether practice or games. Most important on top of all this, she is a WINNER!.
