Lara Alonso-Basurto brings instant frontcourt pop for Oregon State
In the 2025-26 season, Oregon State freshman forward Lara Alonso-Basurto has flashed starter-level upside with a 14-point, 11-rebound debut and early-season production around 10.0 points and 7.3 rebounds per game, while showing she can score inside and out despite being new to the college game.[1][10][14] What makes her intriguing is the blend of size, touch, and versatility—she’s a 6-3 Spanish import who reportedly played more center in Spain, but is adapting to a stretch-four role, and early reports note her competitive edge and willingness to work through a new position and language transition.[3][8][11]
