Fast and Furious, Tuğba Palazoğlu is the Vin Diesel of Turkish basketball. These two defining traits alone make her a perfect fit for this team. She likes to defend both guard positions, using her quickness advantage, though her rather diminutive size is an issue on the defensive side. On offense she is a streaky shooter but deadly in the open court. Like most players that play her style of basketball she tends to make too many turnovers.
