Leah is a strong guard with notable length that allows her to rise and score over defenders. While it is clear that she is completely comfortable shooting, she also showed that she has the determination to perfect and continue to work on ball handling and finishing ability off the bounce. On defense, she showed that she uses her length and active energy to be highly disruptive when it comes to deflections or steals. She also showed off some of the best passing vision of the entire event. She looked to constantly push the pace and made full court-length passes and made them look easy. Her area of opportunity would be recognizing when she has a smaller defender on her and going down low and burying them under the basket. With her elite combination of speed and athleticism, she could be nearly unstoppable if she gets a 1-1 matchup inside the paint.

Leah was an unrelenting force when it came to hunting for rebounds. She used her long reach, lightening quick speed and ability to track the ball to secure a large number of rebounds on both sides of the ball. She also had a good ability to use the glass to finish her shot and with her soft touch on the ball, was able to use the bank shot to her advantage and finish over defenders. Another strong aspect to her game was her quickness in the open court, and she beat numerous defenders down the court and was able to catch passes on the move and gather herself to go up and finish the shot. Her area of opportunity would be working on perfecting her ability to create off the bounce. At times she appeared hesitant to put the ball on the floor in the halfcourt game.
