The Duke signee, and recently honored in Sports Illustrated's Faces in the crowd, is very light on her feet for someone of her height and she is also a good passer. For the three games, she averaged just over 14 points per game. Ranked at No. 5 the Full Court Fresh 50, she shows a lot of upside but needs to play more physically at times.
2012 USA Basketball U17 Trials
Chidom’s teammate Ariell Bostick (bound for San Diego State) said that Chidom could barely play as a freshman. Now, as a senior, she’s one of the top players in the country, and there’s a definite sense she could still get better. She’s 6-3 and long, and if she develops any kind of perimeter jumper, she can play the three at the highest levels. - Clay Kallam
2012 USA Basketball U17 Training Camp
Chidom showed she can score in bunches, running the fast break like a guard and finding ways to score in the paint. She is long and lanky and weighs less than many players in her position, but she doesn't lack for strength and when facing players who are bigger and can often beat them with quickness. - Kelly Kline
