Lianna Baxter is Oakland’s steady two-way frontcourt piece with legit stretch-and-rim-protect upside
Baxter has developed into a reliable, high-value forward/center for Oakland, averaging 6.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game in 2024-25 while shooting 47.8% overall and 41.5% from three[9]. She stands out because she can defend the paint, rebound, and also space the floor, which makes her a flexible fit for lineups that need size without giving up shooting[9][11]. Her 4.0 GPA and all-academic recognition also point to a disciplined, low-drama, high-IQ player who should plug in cleanly to a structured program[8][11].
