Mississippi Valley State's Rim-Protecting Post with Untapped Potential
Makayla Bonner, a 6'5" F/C for the Mississippi Valley State Devilettes, averaged 7.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, and a team-leading 12 blocks in the 2018-19 season across 25 games (10 starts), showcasing elite shot-blocking instincts and post presence that make her a defensive anchor in the SWAC. Her physicality and rebounding tenacity stand out in a low-major program, with no reported injury history, positioning her as a high-upside developmental big ideal for teams seeking raw rim protection and scoring efficiency (40.9% FG) without needing immediate star production.
