Expert Analysis

The Sussex native doesn’t do anything flashy, but she’s among the more fundamentally sound post-kids in the state. Dahlquist is patient with the ball in her hands and plays the game at her own pace. The Charger has the power to get through a defender to the basket and the touch to drop a hook shot over a defender around the basket. It also helps that Dahlquist can step out and knock down a mid-range jumper to help space the floor out for her teammates.

Post-players with a ready-made skillset are hard to come by, but there is something to Dahlquist’s game. The Hamilton forward has a poise, which shows whenever she gets the ball with her back to the basket. She has a solid shooting touch and uses that to shoot over smaller matchups in the mid-post area and solid footwork to help her find open space around the basket to get shots up. Dahlquist may not be the most physically imposing post, but she has the footwork and poise that nullify size disadvantages.

Watching Dahlquist at Hamilton this season was something. I don’t think anything she does is jaw-dropping, but she does everything well. The Charger has solid footwork, scores well over her left shoulder, has a jumper, attacks the boards, and catches the ball in traffic. Dahlquist is a fundamentally sound kid who you could throw on the floor and know that she won’t look out of place. Post-kids having the kind of polish that Dahlquist does, aren’t common at any level. She may have the out-of-this-world athleticism that some kids do at her size, but she can find multiple ways to be productive no matter who she lines up against. I’ve loved her game for a while, and know she could help a program at the next level.
