Powerful Prospects - A Power Forward Breakdown

Lindsay Wisdom-Hylton (Purdue) 
Lindsay Wisdom-Hylton was expecting to play her senior season, but last year she injured herself and is back for her true senior season. After a surprisingly good first year, Wisdom-Hylton has been a leader for the Boilermakers. She can score, rebound, and especially defend. She's got skills that will help her make the move to the WNBA. There is no question that she is WNBA ready.

Ashley Walker (California)
Her critics will call her undersized and inept to play in the WNBA. But, oh the contrary. Walker, who stands a solid 6'1", makes up for lack of height in her ability to rebound and score. She is a human double double machine and has had to carry the load for the Cal Bears while Hampton and Ndaiye are out. She has shown she has what it takes.

Megan Frazee (Liberty) 
The WNBA has seen very few Megan Frazee's lately. Frazee brings a unique skillset to the table. This is a girl who is legit from the perimeter and can shoot with the best of them. However, at  6'3", she may be expected to play more post in the pros. But she can handle it. she's got an ideal pro body and is a great rebounder and defender at the post positions. You may not hear a lot about her now, but you should in March.

Kelsey Griffin (Nebraska) 
Talk about a diamond in the (well, not so) rough. Griffin may be one of the quietest players on the national scene, but if you've ever seen a Nebraska game, you for sure noticed her. She's very old school in her approach and is very blue collar. She's strong, yet also quick. She can rebound with the best of them, and has worked on mixing up her offensive game. Again, if you've done your homework, you know Griffin.

Ashley Paris (Oklahoma)
It's hard being the sister of one of the most dominant forces to ever play the game, but while Ashley Paris has played in the shadow of her sister a bit, she has shown she is just as valuable too. What Courtney lacks, Ashley brings to the table. Ashley is smaller than her sister by a couple inches, but she's quicker. Also, Ashley is much more perimeter oriented. Her versatility and knack for rebounding will help her in the pros. Most teams could use an Ashley Paris. She just needs to stay agressive.

HM: Star Allen (Ohio State), Marshae Dotson (Florida), Rachel Allison (Baylor), Kemie Nkele (UC Riverside), Robyn Fairbanks (Utah Valley State).
