Texas State’s Kia Palmer brings low-usage, high-motor frontcourt value
Kia Palmer is a role player for Texas State whose current production is modest, but her profile points to a useful support piece: she contributes on the glass, gets steals at a respectable rate for a forward, and plays with the kind of hustle that can matter beyond box-score scoring.[1] Her numbers this season are limited — 1.5 points, 1.3 rebounds and 0.5 steals per game — so she looks more like a developmental fit than an immediate focal point, but that also suggests a coachable, team-first piece who can add energy and defensive activity.[1]
