a high-minute, high-production post from Detroit’s all-time books
Michelle Bortz was a steady inside force for Detroit in the 1999-03 era, finishing her Titans career with 517 points, 220 rebounds, 90 assists, 37 steals, and 7 blocks in 36 games, while playing 33.0 minutes per game[1]. In her best season, she averaged 12.8 points and 5.5 rebounds in 2002-03, with a strong .430 field-goal mark and 31.5 minutes a night[1]. The differentiator: she wasn’t just a box-score post — she logged real floor time, handled the ball enough to add assists, and gave Detroit a dependable, versatile frontcourt presence[1][2].
