Bakırcıoğlu is another player from the next generation of Turkish players. She is the outside shooting inside player that can change a game in the blink of an eye. Despite her tender age, she is a cold-blooded shooter as evidenced by her 4-for-4 three-point shooting night against Italy’s zone defense in the Ten Nations Tournament. Though she still lacks the aggressiveness to be really effective, coach Akdağ has found a way to install her into the strategy. Bakırcıoğlu is the designated double teaming player on defense. With her quick feet she is instantly on the double team.
