Melissa Forest brings efficient scoring pop and week-to-week upside for New Mexico
Melissa Forest’s best calling card is efficient scoring: in a Mountain West Player of the Week stretch, she nearly doubled her season average to 15.5 points per game while shooting 54.5% from the field, after entering that week at 8.1 points per game.[1] That profile suggests a forward who can give a team dependable offensive burst without forcing volume, which makes her appealing if you want a low-drama, high-efficiency complement rather than a pure usage engine.[1] The available source material is limited, so this snapshot is strongest on her scoring efficiency and momentum rather than a full all-around scouting report.[1]
