The Winneconne guard is the type of player the Wolves have been missing the past few seasons. Swanlund is a lead guard who can break down defenders off the dribble. She has the skill set to help her teammates get better looks each time down the floor and balance their offense out. She can score from all three levels, but has the instincts to make plays for others. Her coaches won’t rely on her scoring, but her creativity can take this program over the top.

I saw Swanlund play in late June for the first time, and was impressed by how calm she was with the ball in her hands. Since then, I’ve seen her play a handful of times, and I’ve been impressed each time. The Winneconne native is a skilled lead guard who can protect the ball under pressure and create space from her initial defender. I also like her ability to create for her teammates, find ways to score around the rim, and create space around larger defenders.

The future Winnconne guard impressed me at the Cheesehead Challenge the weekend before camp, and looked solid against dozens of other talented 2030s. Swanlund handles the ball well and controls the tempo of her team’s offense at the point of attack. I thought she played hard and competed well with anyone who lined up on the opposite side of her.
