Marissa is one of the most competitive players in the state. Not only does she play with an outstanding motor, but she plays with a great sense of urgency and treats every possession like it’s a 1-point game. She is a nice North/South athlete, she is aggressive to the rim, and she can finish through contact but also uses the free throw line well. Additionally, Marissa is a capable 3-point shooter when set and in rhythm. Defensively, she is tough-nosed, physical, and feisty. I think she is skilled enough to play point guard, but she is an effective scorer, so I would probably play her off the ball.

Pleasant had some dimes in her matchup against Pink Elite this afternoon and played the offensive side of the ball with a ton of aggression. She can get downhill and finish around the rim, but in my opinion, most of her highlights from this game came from setting up her teammates with easy buckets.
