smooth, defensive-minded LMU guard with pro-level poise
Taylor Shead profiles as a quick, athletic guard who plays with a defensive edge and plenty of pace; LMU’s own bio described her as “defensive minded but can score” and “very smooth going to the basket,” with a track background that hints at real burst and competitiveness. Shead’s appeal is the blend: pressure defense, downhill driving, and enough two-way polish to help a team that wants energy without chaos. She also brought serious high-level résumé value out of Plano West, where she earned all-state and all-area honors as a senior and averaged 11.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 3.0 steals per game in high school.
