Melinda Winston brings two-way toughness and sneaky upside to Lamar
In the 2024-25 season at Texas State, Melinda Winston played limited minutes but flashed efficiency, averaging 1.6 points and 1.0 rebound while shooting 41.7% from the field and 75.0% at the line[7]. The bigger story is her profile: a 6-foot guard/forward who was a two-time 6A TABC All-State selection and her district’s Offensive Player of the Year in 2023, with high-school production of 17.5 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 3.5 steals per game in 2023-24[2][13]. She looks like a high-motor, multi-position defender with upside if her role expands—exactly the kind of gritty, versatile piece coaches love sneaking into a rotation[6].
