What can she bring to Fresno State?
Chatfield is a sharpshooter who succeeds in catch and shoot. Her quick release enables her to get the shot up even with defenders attempting to clamp her. She can create off the dribble enough to get space and launch her shot whether it's from beyond-the-arc or the midrange. When she's not shooting, Chatfield is driving to the basket and converting layups off of screens or after a fake with ease.
Fresno State has a plethora of talented guards with high three-point percentage but the team as a whole doesn't favor the three ball. Chatfield's known success from beyond-the-arc will add a true three-point threat within the realm of talent.
