Meelena has really nice upside as a prospect, because she has an extremely long frame, she can get out and run the floor, plus she plays with a lot of bounce. She is primarily a presence at the defensive end right now, with her ability to block/affect shots in the paint. She pursues rebounds outside of her area as well, and she tries to be physical in the lane but could use a little more strength. Offensively, she is more of an opportunistic scorer who finishes dump-off passes or finds offensive rebounds to lay back in. As she continues to expand her game to the mid-post, she could be a problem.

Meelena is someone who catches your attention from warm-ups, because she is extremely long, wiry-strong, and somewhat bouncy. She moves around the entire floor well, she rim-runs fairly well in transition, and she can catch and finish on the run. She’s another front-liner who needs continued skill development in the offensive halfcourt, but she definitely has some instincts around the rim and likes to explode up. Defensively, she can be a problem, utilizing her height and length to affect/block shots consistently. She also pursues rebounds well outside of her area.
