But, as strange as it sounds, the New Zealand international is not concerned about how many points she scores.

Instead, she wants to dominate the rebounds.

Three weeks into her WNBL stint with the Capitals, McCormack has only had a slight impact on the court.

She has failed to nail any of her five attempts from the field and has grabbed just seven rebounds.

But after her first full week training with the squad, the 20-year-old said she was ready to stamp her authority on the league even if that means remaining scoreless.

''It [scoring] doesn't worry me at all actually it's not my ultimate goal because I can contribute in other ways like rebounding and blocks,'' McCormack said.

''It's going to be nice when I do score, but it's not a huge focus scoring isn't my role.

''I'm trying to build different elements into my game and it's about creating blocks and little things rather than trying to rush it.''

McCormack first played for the Capitals against the Sydney Uni Flames in Sydney two weeks ago.

She had one training session before her first game and then flew back to New Zealand for a university exam last week.

Now she has had a full week to slot into the Capitals line-up as the team searches for back-to-back championships.

Six years after trading her promising netball career for basketball, McCormack admitted she's still learning the game.

Less than a year after her first basketball game, she was picked in the New Zealand Tall Ferns side.

She scored a United States college scholarship and played for the Tall Ferns at the Beijing Olympics before an ankle injury forced her out of the game for 12 months.

While she admitted she was not near peak form, her 194cm frame makes her an imposing figure and she hoped her 11-game stint in the WNBL would be the launching pad for a future career in Europe.
