Addison Bjorn talks about her versatility

In a conversation with On3, Addison Bjorn talked about the kind of player she is:

"I’m kind of just the glue piece," Bjorn told On3. "I feel like whatever coach needs, I find a way to do it. My versatility is something that you can’t really teach, and you either have it or don’t."

Furthermore, the Riverside, MO native also spoke about her effectiveness, off the ball:

"A lot of people talk about having versatility, but I mean, I can guard whatever position depending on the five, which is a little questionable," Bjorn said. "I just think I see the court really well, and I get other people involved. Without having the ball in my hand, I think I slash and cut really well and I move off the ball."

Addison Bjorn has one more year to go before she decides on her collegiate career.
