steady post defender and efficient frontcourt contributor for South Dakota State
Leah Dietel profiles as a dependable forward whose value goes beyond box-score pop: South Dakota State described her as a strong defender in the post, and she earned a bigger role by starting the final 20 games of the 2012-13 season after coming off the bench early.[1] She also flashed upside with a career-high 16 points and 10 rebounds in a double-double against Georgetown, showing she can punish mismatches when given touches.[2] For a team that needs toughness, interior defense, and low-drama production, she looks like a useful fit.[1][2]
