Lamaria is an athletic playmaker with a keen eye for passing. Estridge’s anticipation on the court is always ahead of time. She averaged 8 assists last season on her high school team. Being both agile and strong, Lamria finishes through contact at the rim. She is a confident three level scorer. On the offensive end, Lamaria is an exceptional rebounder.
