low-usage veteran forward with elite academic polish
Whitney Burgess was a role forward for Little Rock whose value came more from reliability, team-first fit, and execution than big box-score production: in 2009-10 she appeared in five games and averaged 0.4 points and 0.2 rebounds, while helping the Trojans reach their first NCAA tournament and win in it. She also brought strong intangibles, including a 3.76 GPA and a psychology degree, which points to discipline, coachability, and maturity. She looks like a fit for a team that needs a steady, unselfish locker-room piece rather than a high-usage scorer.[1]
