A forward that functions well in and around the paint on both sides of the ball. Offensively, Shannon makes herself a big target plus she’s an ideal option for drivers looking for someone to find behind the defense. O’Leary finishes from various angles with a soft touch. Defensively, the 6’1 forward provides excellent help and comes through with enough physical strength to give players a hard time in individual matchups.

O’Leary is a feared downlow. She operates well on the blocks and makes herself a major target after sealing defenders on her backside. Her angles created force defenders into awkward positions to properly contest. The pressure she applies in and around the paint must be noted. Shannon’s presence must be accounted for on defense too. She’s active and agile, making drivers second-guess their takes. O’Leary is coming into the season as the #34 ranked player in the class.

O’Leary adds so much positional value to a NMH team looking to do damage this year. Her abilities embody a player that’s willing to do whatever it takes to get the win. It may not always look pretty with Shannon, but she gets the job done. The activity in and around the paint on both sides of the ball is indispensable.

Shannon is a significant factor to worry about in and around the paint. The lefty forward has a knack for hitting short midranges as well as getting deep positioning down low. O’Leary has striking footwork, combine that with strength, balance and upper-class dexterity and that makes for a tough matchup for any post to contain.

A strong post with a good frame that works hard on both ends of the floor. O’Leary makes herself a big target to feed down low, plus she has the skillset to accurately dish passes out of the post. She’s a balanced defender that’ll impose her physicality to be that anchor. Shannon provides a sense of security at her position.

A player that plays a simple, yet effective style. Shannon loves to post on the block and her steady play down there can give an offensive boost from downlow. O’Leary is consistently in the right position, giving teammates the right angle after sitting deep on defenders. Her angles created turning over her shoulder make it hard for players to disrupt her shot. Shannon has also shown a knack for passing out of the post and keeping possessions alive on the offensive glass. She’s an earnest player that merits attention for the work she’s put in thus far.
