A quick driver off the catch, Dumas is difficult to slow down while on the attack. One of the better perimeter facilitators in this class, the lead guard is excellent at making the extra pass once help arrives. Although quick with the ball, she is patient with her decision making in large part, dependable at slowing down the pace when necessary. Defensively, she is a pain for any opposing ball handler. Given her lateral quickness and willingness to stay physical at the point of attack, many opposing guards want no part of her on defense.

The guard is especially troublesome while attacking the rim, given her low center of gravity and notable acceleration while attacking downhill. Although impressively quick, she is a great decisionmaker even at full speed, she could be a pest creating good looks for shotmakers.

Dumas is an elite point of attack defender, very quick to wall off the lane from opposing drivers. They do an excellent job of getting into a low stance with wide arms, prepared to get a hand on the ball if necessary. Her role as a facilitator cannot be overlooked, bringing notable value as a downhill scorer due to her immediate first step and twitchy handle.
