“I am very happy to have Miela join our program, she is very professional and passionate about her basketball and is another fantastic role model for all young athletes in our community,” he said.
“Miela has made a name for herself with her ability to shoot, but it’s her guard skills and effort on defence that makes her such a great fit for us, and I cannot wait to have her on board.”
