Mullin is an extension of the play-caller on the floor, one that that exerts maximum effort across the board.

Mullin has great tools that allow her success. She’s fast and controls the pace with prime offensive initiation abilities. The driving lanes she creates force the defense to react as she’s attacking which allows her to also find open teammates. Her finishes at the rim show that she’s comfortable putting up shots in the lane from various angles. What hasn’t been mentioned is her defense though. She’s stifling on this side of the ball. Cassidy can be tasked with a plethora of duties in any game, but that’s no problem for this guard. Whether its isolation coverage, shading players to a side, face guarding or just being an overall pest in help, Mullin will come through.

Mullin is a player that’s prepared to do her job each time she steps on the floor. She’s not a player that usually does too much with the ball in her hands, Cassidy would much rather make the connective pass to open teammates and fill the lane. She understands that early initiation of the offense sets her teammates up nicely before the defense has time to react. Mullin also shows the ability to attack the open space, making other defenders respond to what she’s doing. She has the capacity to finish amongst a great deal of contact and sometimes she’ll even use her lane penetration as decoy to feed the open big on the opposite block. On the other side of the ball, Cassidy has shown to be a profound defender. She closes the gap quickly and doesn’t easily allow players the space to operate comfortably. The ’26 guard shouldn’t be glossed over when it comes to effective point guards.
