Athletic Alabama guard with real two-way upside, now working back from injury
In the 2024-25 season, Eris Lester showed why Alabama liked her so much: a 5-11 guard with real length, burst, and defensive bite, plus enough scoring touch to drop 16 points in her debut and average 4.1 points and 2.1 rebounds in 30 games. She was a 4-star recruit and the No. 57 overall player in her class, and observers consistently point to her ability to attack off the dribble and create pressure on both ends. The big caveat: her 2025-26 season was cut short by injury, so the fit question hinges on health as much as talent.
