Guess is certainly one of the top scorers in the state. Last season, she averaged 21.2 ppg and 6.8 rpg while helping lead her team to a 23-8 record. She finished as the 13th leading scorer in the state last season and I think her numbers will be even higher this year. Guess is a really tough defensive assignment because you can stay in front of her, but she’ll still find ways to score. She’s a true 3-level scorer. She’s also an excellent decision maker. Guess defends well and she actually is Crittenden County’s leading scorer and rebounder as we begin this season.

Guess does a little bit of everything when she steps on the court and there is certainly a reason why she is a 3x All-Region player. She should hit 2,000 career points early this season which is impressive in general, but especially impressive when you consider that she’s playing in a region in which 9 of the 15 teams finished with a winning record last season. She truly works out there and she does a great job of staying in control on the offensive end, which only helps her get more scoring opportunities. Guess can handle the ball and she uses both sides of the floor so well. Her basketball IQ shines when you watch her play.
Guess has a knack for getting into the paint or to the rim, no matter how many defenders she has to get past to get there. Her mid-range game is really strong as well. She can pull up from anywhere on the court, so her versatility definitely makes her tough to defend. When she gets into the paint, she does such a good job of staying in control. Guess uses jump stops effectively and when she shoots it, she isn’t just throwing the ball at the basket. She really looks for the best scoring opportunity possible. When she draws fouls, she knocks down free throws as well. She also knocks down outside shots consistently. Outside of simply putting the ball in the basket, Guess does a good job of staying with plays and following her shot. She also recognizes mismatches and can post up if the opportunity presents itself.
