Mullen on Falcão

Gabi is a tough, physical post player that can finish through contact inside. She has played at the highest level in her country, and is an experienced winner. She will be a strong presence in our front line given her ability to score, rebound, and defend. We expect Gabi to make an immediate impact on both ends of the floor.
