Jessica Smith’s paint presence made her a rebound-first Patriot
In the 2006-07 season, George Mason forward Jessica Smith stood out as a tough, interior presence, highlighted by a career-high 18 rebounds against Rice and multiple games leading the Patriots on the glass[12][13]. She was praised in team coverage as a maturing, force-in-the-paint type who could rebound, finish efficiently, and even hit a timely jumper, including a game-winner with 0.8 seconds left in 2007[7][15]. If your team needs a physical forward who brings grit, rim protection-by-position, and zero-nonsense hustle, she fits the bill.
