Lilly Taulelei brings efficient, physical frontcourt depth to Iowa State
Taulelei is a 6-foot-3 post player whose value shows up in efficient finishing and reliable depth minutes: in 2025-26, she played in 21 games and shot 55% from the field while averaging 2.6 points, and Iowa State noted a career-high 10 points on 4-of-4 shooting against Sacred Heart. She has built a profile as a true paint presence with solid touch, experience as a starter at UMass, and enough mobility to fit modern frontcourt rotations. The fit is strongest for teams needing size, low-usage efficiency, and steady interior minutes rather than a high-volume scorer.[4][12][15]
