Sydney Prochaska brings veteran size, defensive activity, and steady rotation value for Southern Illinois
In the 2023-24 season, Southern Illinois guard Sydney Prochaska played in 26 games with 13 starts, averaging 1.3 points, 1.7 rebounds, 0.3 assists, and 0.5 steals in 15.5 minutes per game; her value is less about volume scoring and more about dependable, glue-player impact. She set career highs in minutes, points, steals, and blocks, which hints at a coach-trusted, high-effort defender who can fill gaps without forcing the action. At 5-foot-11, she gives SIU a sturdy backcourt/wing presence and a quietly useful fit for a team needing length, toughness, and low-drama minutes.
