She has masterful counters and isn't afraid to make daring plays, even as a rather efficient playmaker. She crafts wonderful driving lanes by taking advantages of the angles. The ball doesn't stick with Parrotta when she's in control of the offense either. She'd prefer advancing the ball, knowing she'll get in back when she's in a better position. Lucianna has fluid shooting mechanics which make her dangerous from beyond the arc despite defenders giving her little time. Players guarding her can be easily discouraged seeing how swiftly the shot gets up, even with a hand up. Parrotta's vision is topnotch; the decision-making on the fly is an awfully striking trait that appears in marquee matchups. She can play with just about anybody on the floor, so she's an excellent choice to depend on due to that usefulness. The '27 guard is an excellent watch.
