Lisa Leslie expresses her honest thoughts on the Indiana Fever star's defensive capabilities

Lisa Leslie expressed her thoughts on the Indiana Fever star Lexie Hull and her defensive prowess. Hull is widely known for her ability to catch and shoot at a high percentage. However, her defensive efforts are often overlooked and during the Rose BC vs Lunar Owls game on Mar. 7, the two-time WNBA champion applauded Hull's overlooked trait.

"On the streets, we call it a dawg. A dawg, you either got it or you don’t. And Lexie Hull’s got it," Leslie said.

Hull, playing for the Rose BC in the 3x3 Unrivaled basketball league, is averaging 6.2 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game. The Rose BC ended their season having clinched a playoff spot as the second-seeded team in the standings. They will face the Laces BC on Sunday as their next matchup.
