Albanez said her game time isn't scripted.
"It's just on how the game's going," she said. "If (coach Kelly Graves) wants more of a fast-paced game, if the game's not going fast enough, or he wants a defensive stopper, he'll go with the flow."
Although she can inject instant offense, Albanez also puts pride in her defense.
"I like to pressure the ball a lot, kind of make things happen, get steals and stuff," she said.
Albanez said she's gaining confidence in her 3-point shooting but has always considered herself more of a midrange shooter.
She doesn't spend much time analyzing her statistics.
"I'm not really worried about that as long as our team keeps winning," she said.
