Amanda Lard brings veteran Southern frontcourt grit
Amanda Lard is listed as a 5-foot-9 forward from Birmingham, Alabama, who played for Southern women’s basketball, and the available stat line from the 2003–04 season shows modest production: 0.7 points, 1.2 rebounds, and 0.5 assists per game[1][2]. What matters more than the box score is the profile: a undersized-but-versatile forward who had to win with toughness, positioning, and effort rather than flash—exactly the kind of glue-player look teams value when they want physicality, reliability, and hustle over headline numbers[1][2].
