About Dessi
Expert Analysis
Brandon Bradley | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Dessi obviously isn’t the biggest point guard in the class, but she has spent two years making plays and providing both a scoring punch and a defensive effort for Fort Wayne’s Blackhawk Christian High School. She plays low and compact, and she loves to get out in transition and push the basketball up the floor. She can knock down an open rhythm jumper, but her entire game revolves around her ability to get into the paint and draw defenders in order to find open teammates. On the ball, defensively, she can hawk it everywhere, or she can hide in “help side” and pounce on errant passes.

Dessi is the shortest player in this article, but, if possible, she plays much bigger than she is. She has good strength at her size, nice quickness that gives her the ability to split traps or turn the corner on defenders, and she does a nice job of playing compact and protecting the basketball when getting through traffic. Dessi can also knock down an open jumper consistently to keep defenses honest. Defensively, she has shown she can change a game by creating consecutive turnovers at times.
