a physical, experienced forward with a long New Orleans track record
BriAnna Shavers is a 6-foot forward who brings size, rebounding, and toughness to New Orleans, with her college bio showing she battled back from a preseason knee injury in 2013-14 and then played in 22 games in 2014-15, averaging 1.4 points and 1.5 rebounds per game. Her listed stats from ESPN are modest in the current database view, but her value profile is more about interior grit than box-score flash. If your team wants a hard-nosed forward who can handle physical play and provide depth, she fits the mold; if you need a high-usage scorer, she’s not that type.
