I like what Pluemer brings to the floor and trust the poise she plays with on both ends of the floor to translate into winning basketball. She’s a physical player who can move her feet well enough to stay in front of guards off the dribble and rebound on the defensive end. The Brookfield native is also an efficent scorer who can score in the paint and space the floor to knock down perimeter jumpers.

I thought Pluemer was an impressive player when I watched her on Monday afternoon. The Brookfield native excelled at finishing around the basket and finished with either hand around the basket. I thought she had a nice showing against a solid group. She was the most reliable source of offense and was a confident player with the ball. I thought she was impressive when she was on the floor.

The Brookfield East guard/wing is a young prospect who has had her moments at the high school level in her young career. However, we will see more of her offensive game with Wisconsin Impact because she will have an increased role in the spring and summer. She is a physical kid with the athletic tools to make things happen with the ball. However, like most kids who play in the Spartans program in high school, expect disciplined defense.

The one thing I can always bet on is that a Brookfield East player who plays significant minutes will defend at a high level. Pluemer is the younger sister of Annika, who had an excellent high school career, and Maria can defend well in man or zone defenses. She is a physical kid who moves her feet well on the perimeter and reads the game well within a zone. I’d also expect her offensive game to round itself out over the next handful of years.
