Alexis Peterson, Syracuse

Alexis Peterson had a sensational senior campaign at Syracuse. The 5’7 guard is super quick and can score in a variety ways. She is a good athlete who is able to harass opposing ball-handlers with quick feet and strong hands.

Peterson ended her collegiate career first on the Orange’s career list in assist and second in scoring. She averaged 23.4 points, 7.0 assists, 3.0 steals, and 3.5 boards in 2016-17. However, Peterson is not a great shooter, making 42.3% of her shots from the floor and 36.9% of her three-point attempts.
