The 6’2” forward from Royalton was a pleasant surprise, as I hadn’t had the pleasure of watching Pallansch before Sunday. She showed a nice balance of inside-out offense with a soft touch around the basket while also showing range from the mid-range and beyond the arc. Defensively, her length helped make up for any lack of foot speed. Even when she was beaten on the perimeter, Pallansch did a good job recovering and using that length to alter shots. When she was around the paint, she showed good timing as a shot blocker and was able to challenge shots without fouling. There’s a lot to like here. Pallansch plays her AAU ball with the Comets, and with her combination of size, shooting touch and defensive potential, there’s plenty of upside for the Royalton junior.
