Middle Tennessee came to town this weekend, giving Minnesota fans and Lynx scouts a chance to check out senior guard Chrissy Givens.

Givens looks like a legit first-round pick. She's tall for a guard. She's got long arms and good ups. She's not Latta-Wiggins fast, but she's still fast, and she's got a great first step.

If there's anything to complain about, it's that she's not a great outside shooter. Her shooting percentages (pdf) last year were 44% FG, 34% 3P, and 71% FT. Her form is a little weird, and from outside, her release is slow. But she's still able to score a ton with a nice slash and pull-up game.

Yesterday, she had 25 points, 7 boards, and 7 assists as the Blue Raiders easily beat the Gophers. On Saturday, she had 23, 13, and 6 in a romp over Maine.

It will be fun to watch her and MTSU make some noise this year. (And she sounds like a good kid to boot.)
