Shameka Smith brings interior toughness and efficient rebounding to Gardner-Webb
Smith’s appeal is her physical frontcourt presence: in the 2005-06 season, she played 28 games with 23 starts and nearly posted a double-double, averaging 11.1 points and 9.9 rebounds per game. That profile signals a reliable, high-effort rebounder who can finish efficiently and impact games without needing heavy volume, which is especially valuable for teams looking for toughness, board control, and steady production in the paint.
